Playing away, Lernayin Artsakh, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in Premier League, have won 4 games, drawn 2 and suffered 7 defeats in the Premier League this season. Lernayin Artsakh are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost ten in a row. It's been 21 weeks since they last avoided defeat. (The Shirak game.)

Lernayin Artsakh aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 578 league minutes without a goal. Ojetunde was the last player to find the net.

There might be some fixture complaints from Lernayin as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-1 against Shirak.

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Ararat-Armenia.

Observe: 11 of the latest 12 league games involving this team have had only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).
