Artsakh form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Artsakh, who have the fewest points (4) away in Premier League, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-9 (win-draw-lose). five defeats in a row for Artsakh in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Gandzasar.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Ararat-Armenia with 1-3 on the scoreboard. A 0-1 defeat away at Alashkert before that.

Artsakh are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 13 wins, 2 draws and 13 defeats. From a total of 28 matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Artsakh as they have only managed to score 6 times from 11 away games. The Artsakh manager S. Arzumanyan has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
