An important duel in the bottom section of the First League, with both Pyunik II and Shirak II experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 13th place.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a First League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Junior Sevan, so at least Pyunik II are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Pyunik's stadium, Pyunik Training Centre, has a artifical turf surface. Shirak II have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Shirak II when playing on artifical turf; 1 win, 1 draw and 18 losses from 20 matches. They have scored 12 goals in these games and conceded 55.

Pyunik II form and stats

With 3 First League wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, Pyunik II are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Pyunik Training Centre, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Aragats game.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Dilijan in only four days.

The Pyunik manager has got the team scoring with 25 from 11 home games in the league. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Pyunik have allowed the opposition to score 28 goals here at Pyunik Training Centre.

Shirak II form and stats

Shirak II have only collected 3 points from their away games in the First League, after 0-3-8 (11 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Dilijan was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?

A new game in only three days for Shirak II, the First League home match versus Lernayin Artsakh. Busy days.

Shirak can't defend away. 37 goals have been scored by the opposition in 11 matches, an average of more than three per game.
