Perhaps a welcome break from league football as BKMA & Pyunik face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Armenian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither BKMA nor Pyunik as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
BKMA form and stats
BKMA participated in Armenian Cup the last season, where they reached the quarter-finals and lost against Alashkert.Three Premier League home games done for BKMA, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for BKMA with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Ararat-Armenia II game, 110 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
BKMA are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Junior Sevan.
Preceding that match was a Premier League defeat to Banants (1-2).Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Ararat in only four days. This game is also played here at Yerevan Football Academy.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for BKMA here at Yerevan Football Academy in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). As for conceded goals, BKMA's unpleasant statistic is 8 goals surrendered.
Pyunik form and stats
Pyunik was sent out of Armenian Cup in the 8th finals last season, when Banants turned out to be too strong.Playing away, Pyunik have won 3 games, drawn 0 and suffered 1 defeat in the Premier League this season. Pyunik has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Pyunik play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Banants.
