The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Lori find themselves in 7th position and Van are placed 2nd.

The hosts Lori saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Premier League. That game was an away game at Ararat-Armenia, so at least Lori are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Lori form and stats

Lori enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Ararat-Armenia's place. The match ended 2-1. Nobody expected Lori to beat Ararat-Armenia in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Heartbreak before that as Lori lost 0-3 at Banants's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lori perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lori as a small favourite), we find eight games. Lori has won two of these, drawn three and lost three.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lori as they are travelling to their away game against BKMA in the Armenian Cup. That match is four days after this one.

Van form and stats

In general it has been a productive period now for Van as they haven't lost any of their last 17 games. Van are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.

W. Eza scored in Van's previous match, the home game against Pyunik that ended 1-0. Before that, Van secured a home win against Gandzasar with the score 2-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found one similar match played by Van in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Van, one draw and zero defeats.

After this away game Van return home for a Armenian Cup game against Noravank. That game is only three sleeps after this.
