Van are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Pyunik (after extra-time, 1-3 on penalties) (placed 2nd).
The game before that, in the Premier League, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Pyunik.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Van as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Van's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
