Noah form and stats

Noah's struggle is real here at Kotaik Stadium with only 13 points collected from 16 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-4-9. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Noah to get some points in this home game.

Noah played out a surprising loss 1-3 against Pyunik in their previous game, also a home game.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Banants.

The Noah fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 16 matches. When Noah hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like BKMA, Lernayin Artsakh and Ararat), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Pyunik form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 10 wins, 4 draws and only 2 losses in the Premier League. In general it has been a productive period now for Pyunik as they haven't lost any of their last 13 games.

Pyunik play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Noah (placed 9th).

A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Van.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 11 of this team's 14 most recent league fixtures have ended with at least three goals.

They concede less than a goal on average per away game (10 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Pyunik have been victorious in every one of the 9 most recent fixtures against this team. Another win today?

This was the scoreline when the sides met previously this campaign; Noah - Pyunik 1-3.
