The visiting Banants side should be favourites in this visit to Shirak, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their seven league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Banants 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 11-14-14 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.
