The visiting Banants side should be favourites in this visit to Artsakh, as the away team holds a 5 point advantage from their nine league games this season.
- Artsakh has the most matches over the total-line (6) in Premier League
- Banants has the most points (11) away in Premier League
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Ararat, so at least Artsakh are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
12-12-14 (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 38 matches are 39-45 (scored/conceded).
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Artsakh form and stats
1-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Artsakh so far this season.
The home team returns to Armenia Football Academy grass after being equal after 90 minutes with Ararat (placed 1st) on their last time out; the Premier League game ended 1-1. Heartbreak before that as Artsakh lost 1-3 at Ararat-Armenia's place.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Artsakh as they are travelling to their away game against Van in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
The Artsakh fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. On the other hand, Artsakh have conceded 5 goals.
Banants form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of Banants, who have the most points (11) away in Premier League, playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.
Home advantage was not enough for Banants in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Alashkert, 1-2.
Banants has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 8 goals from 5 games. Banants are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 2 away goals have been conceded so far.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Banants - Artsakh 0-3, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Artsakh won six games, two matches ended with a draw and Banants has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveArtsakh missing players
