Banants form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Banants are certainly not brimming with confidence.

E. Kobzar was the last player to score a league goal for Banants and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Banants haven't scored in 181 minutes. Nothing to worry about in defence for Banants, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 196 minutes in the Premier League.

Banants drew their last game, 0-0 away at Ararat-Armenia (placed 3rd). Preceding that game was the away draw at Ararat-Armenia that finished 0-0.

The Banants fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
