Here's everything you need to know, and then some, about the Pyunik - Urartu game!

Insights:
  • Pyunik have the most matches under the total-line (14) in Premier League
  • Urartu have scored at least twice as many goals away as Pyunik have scored home.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Urartu have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 13-14-14 (win-draw-loss) from 41 matches.

This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.

Pyunik form and stats

Pyunik's struggle is real here at Urartu Stadium with only 6 points collected from 10 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-6-4. Pyunik are slowly digging their own grave here at Urartu Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in ten attempts. The last victory here came in the Urartu match.
