Pyunik form and stats

Pyunik's results here at Yerevan Football Academy in the Premier League have been very modest with 0 victories, 6 draws and 3 defeats. With nine home Premier League games in a row without a win, the Pyunik fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Urartu game long ago, can be stopped today.

Stress levels are on the rise for Pyunik's attacking players as they have now played 253 minutes without scoring in a league game. J. Balza was their last goal scorer.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Alashkert (0-1).

Pyunik has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 4 goals from 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Pyunik have conceded only 8 goals.

Noah form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (30) in Premier League, on their Premier League travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

The Noah goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 343 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Ararat-Armenia that ended 0-0.

Noah delivered their win in the match against Shirak already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!

The schedule is very tough for Noah now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Urartu is waiting in only four days.

Noah find the net regularly in their away games. 12 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Noah have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
