Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It should be mentioned that Pyunik II play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Pyunik II on grass are 7 victories, 4 draws and 24 defeats from 35 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 39-95.

Shirak II form and stats

With 2 First League wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Shirak II, who have the most conceded goals (26) at home in First League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Shirak are slowly digging their own grave here at Gyumri City Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Ararat-Armenia II match. It's trouble wherever Shirak are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The Shirak fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. As for conceded goals, Shirak's unpleasant statistic is 26 goals surrendered.
