Torpedo Yerevan will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 31 points behind Van.
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.
Torpedo Yerevan form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the First League this season. Torpedo Yerevan have only managed 3 wins, 0 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Kotaik. It's trouble wherever Torpedo Yerevan are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Game days at Kotaik have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Torpedo as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Torpedo Yerevan were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Torpedo as they have a new game in only four days, a First League match thankfully also at home. Dilijan are visiting.
The Torpedo fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 16 goals in 10 league matches. Torpedo Yerevan's defense is seriously deficient as 34 goals have been conceded in these matches.
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 (11) in First League, collect 23 points from their 10 away matches in the First League. 7 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
As mentioned above, Van was the only team on the pitch versus Dilijan in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.
The Van manager K. Barseghyan has got the team scoring on the road, with 22 away goals in 10 league matches. It's not easy to score on Van as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
