Esteghlal poised to win their second IPL title

After spending a few days in the snow covered Sierras where there was no phone, TV, radio, or even a clock I am having a hard time to get back into the madness we call Iranian football, but here I am

Things are going down to the wire in the Iranian Pro League. With one game to go, Esteghlal leads Pas with one single point. However, the Tehran giants have an easier game ahead of them. They will play near the bottom Bargh while Pas play Saba Battery.

If I was a betting man, I would put my money on Esteghlal to win the 5th Iranian Pro League title. This will be their first title since IPL inauguration in 2002.
