Navad Urmia desperately need points today at 4:30 PM in the Azadegan League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Navad Urmia come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5). Naft Bandar Abbas, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Navad Urmia a slight edge, but Naft Bandar Abbas are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
