Season ticket holders at Yerevan Football Academy haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Gandzasar languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Shirak will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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!
