We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Ararat form and stats
Ararat have played 5 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-0 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Ararat bring valid hopes of a third.
Ararat drew their last game, 1-1 away at Alashkert (placed 4th). Heartbreak before that as Ararat lost 0-1 at Artsakh's place.
A decent goal production from Ararat in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 5 league matches. From these home matches, Ararat have conceded only 4 goals.
Gandzasar form and stats
There's been little loot from Gandzasar's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 6 away games in the Premier League. Gandzasar, who have the fewest scored goals (4) away in Premier League, only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Gandzasar are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Gandzasar failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Banants (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 2-4. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Shirak.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Gandzasar, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gandzasar as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Gandzasar have conceded 10 goals in their away games.
