Insights:
  • Shirak have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.

Shirak form and stats

With 4 Premier League wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Shirak are certainly not brimming with confidence. The Shirak manager Torosyan might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 272 minutes without scoring a league goal. Cissé was the last player to find the net.

Shirak suffered a slightly shocking loss 0-1 against Alashkert in their previous outing, also played in front of their own fans.

Before that game, the home loss against Ararat-Armenia with the scoreline 0-2.

Shirak have scored {10 league goals} here from 16 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Alashkert form and stats

The visitors are W8-D2-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Having won their last three away games Alashkert has no reason to fear anyone.

Two away games in a row for Alashkert, whose manager Gevorgyan could celebrate last time after the win against Shirak.

A loss against BKMA was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The travelling fans enjoy Alashkert's attacking play in away games, having scored 26 goals in 16 league matches away. Alashkert's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 25 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head
