2nd position in the Premier League table for Ararat-Armenia so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 6th-placed Banants visits Yerevan Football Academy.
- Ararat-Armenia has the fewest conceded goals (6) in Premier League
Ararat-Armenia and Banants should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
13-13-16 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Banants when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 42 matches are 44-49 (scored/conceded).
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
