Alashkert get ready to welcome Shirak for something different than the ordinary league football: The Armenian Cup 8th Finals leg 1 of 2.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Ararat. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Shirak, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Ararat game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on T. Davtyan, the Shirak manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Artsakh.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Ararat was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Shirak can't defend away. 18 goals have been scored by the opposition in 4 matches, an average of more than three per game.
