There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Premier League table so far. Here's the Ararat-Armenia - Lori latest:
Ararat-Armenia have less rest than Lori in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Armenian Cup game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at West Armenia.

Ararat-Armenia, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) at home in Premier League, have collected 15 points from their Premier League home games so far after 5-0-0. After failing to beat Gandzasar here at Yerevan Football Academy, Ararat-Armenia has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.
Happy days for Ararat-Armenia in their previous game, a Armenian Cup match away at West Armenia that ended with a 5-0 victory. Prior to that, an away loss at Alashkert in the Premier League.
As mentioned above, Ararat-Armenia "killed" West Armenia in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
