Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Junior Sevan so far, with 10-0-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Things are running smoothly for Junior Sevan who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 16 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Lori. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Shirak II game have they lost an away game, meaning Junior Sevan has taken points from eleven away matches in a row.

There were no winners in Junior Sevan's previous match, a First League home game that ended 2-2 vs Lokomotiv. Before that one, a nice away victory 8-0 at Gandzasar II.
