In the fourth week of the Persian Gulf Pro League, Aluminium Arak and Kheybar Khorramabad played to a 2-2 draw at Imam Khomeini Stadium. Kheybar Khorramabad initially led through Isa Moradi, but Aluminium Arak equalized via a Shirvin Bozorg penalty and later took a 2-1 lead through Abolfazl Ghanbari before Kheybar Khorramabad secured the draw in the 82nd minute.

By the sixth week, Aluminium Arak prepared to host Esteghlal FC. Both teams entered the match with 11 points each. To manage player fatigue following a match against Persepolis, the Esteghlal FC coaching staff opted for light training activities upon arrival in Arak rather than a full session in Tehran. The Esteghlal squad faced roster changes, including the absence of Saleh Hardani and potential shifts in captaincy.
