With their 25 point advantage in the league table, Lori fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Yerevan.
Lori have less rest than Yerevan in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Armenian Cup game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Vanadzor City Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Yerevan have had more rest.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.

Yerevan form and stats
Yerevan, who have the most conceded goals (45) in Premier League, have only collected 0 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 0-0-7 (7 played). Yerevan have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 7 away matches played so far in the Premier League. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Yerevan, who have now gone 15 games without a victory. The Gandzasar II game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. It's all red in the travel logs of Yerevan, having lost seven matches in a row as the visiting team.
Yerevan failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Pyunik (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 2-8. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ararat-Armenia wasn't a success with a 2-7 loss.
Yerevan lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 2-8 beating and focus on this one.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Yerevan as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. The Yerevan defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 24 goals in their away games.
