Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Pyunik & Van face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Armenian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Pyunik and Van.
Pyunik form and stats
Last season their Armenian Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals against Banants.When playing at home in the Premier League, Pyunik have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 6 games. Pyunik has a nice streak going on as they have played eleven consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Ararat-Armenia defeat 99 days ago.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Pyunik, as their goalkeeper Stanislav Buchnev has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the Premier League.
Pyunik enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Van's place. The match ended 2-0.
Before that, Pyunik had a Premier League home game versus Artsakh which ended with a victory 1-0.The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Pyunik here at Vazgen Sargsyan anvan Hanrapetakan Marzadasht in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games).

Van form and stats
Last season their Armenian Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.There's been little loot from Van's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Premier League. Van only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. Van are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the BKMA fixture.
V. Filippov was the last player to score for the away team. Van haven't scored a league goal in the last 528 minutes.
Van might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Pyunik proved too strong as Van slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans.
It was a Premier League defeat before that one as the away game against BKMA wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Van as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. As for defending, Van rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 9 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
As for the last five games between these two teams, there's two Pyunik victories, two draws and one Van win. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
