The visiting Van side should be favourites in this visit to Ani Yerevan, as the away team holds a 40 point advantage from their 25 league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Yerevan nor Van 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.
Ani Yerevan form and stats
Ani Yerevan's results here at Pyunik Training Centre in the First League have been very modest with 3 victories, 1 draw and 9 defeats.
There will be little rest for Yerevan after this match as they are travelling to Torpedo Yerevan for a First League game in only four days.
Ani Yerevan are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 13 games. Ani Yerevan have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
Van form and stats
Van's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Van, who have the most clean sheets (12) in First League, collect 29 points from their 12 away matches in the First League. 9 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). In general it has been a productive period now for Van as they haven't lost any of their last twelve games. Van have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
As mentioned above, Van was the only team on the pitch versus West Armenia in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
A quick return to home after this game, as Van are hosting Masis in the First League only four days away.
Van create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 31 goals in 12 travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).
