Venue: RCCSD Stadium (7140 seats)

It's early days in the Premier League and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

It's no vacation for neither Artsakh nor Banants as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.

Artsakh form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Artsakh's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at RCCSD Stadium.

Artsakh's previous game was a Premier League match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Banants. The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Lori.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Artsakh have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won 1 Drawn 0 Lost 0.

Artsakh has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Banants form and stats

It's not happening yet for Banants on their Premier League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Bitter travels for Banants as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Čukarički.

Two away games in a row for Banants, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Artsakh in the Premier League. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Gandzasar.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Banants playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were 1 Banants win, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

The attacking power of Banants when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Banants manager I. Faizulin has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Artsakh - Banants 2-0 played earlier this season. Artsakh-Banants H2H statistics last six meetings regardless of arena: Artsakh 3 wins, Banants 2 wins, 1 draw. 3 of these six matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
