Struggling Pyunik II will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Ararat-Armenia II in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

3-3-2 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Ararat-Armenia II when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those eight matches are 17-11 (scored/conceded).

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Pyunik II form and stats

Pyunik II's results here at Pyunik Training Centre in the First League have been very modest with 3 victories, 1 draw and 8 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for Pyunik II who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 16 attempts. Their previous win was against Lernayin Artsakh, 262 days ago. With seven home First League games in a row without a win, the Pyunik II fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Lernayin Artsakh game long ago, can be stopped today.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (25 in 12 games), Pyunik II's attacking play is working. Pyunik II are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (29 from 12 played).
