Season ticket holders at Gyumri City Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Shirak languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Urartu will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Shirak have the most conceded goals (39) in Premier League
- Urartu have scored at least twice as many goals away as Shirak have scored home.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
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 13-14-15 (win-draw-loss) from 42 matches.
Shirak form and stats
Shirak's struggle is real here at Gyumri City Stadium with only 4 points collected from 10 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-6. With ten home Premier League games in a row without a win, the Shirak fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Ararat game long ago, can be stopped today. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Shirak to get some points in this home game.
There will be little rest for Shirak after this match as they are travelling to Noah for a Premier League game in only three days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Shirak means that they have only scored 4 goals in 10 league home games, less than half a goal per match. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Shirak have conceded 17 from these games.
Urartu form and stats
3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Urartu playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. Urartu has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Urartu have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper. It's been 244 minutes since they last conceded in Premier League.
Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Ararat-Armenia.
After this away game Urartu return home for a Premier League game against Van. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Urartu have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. 9 goals have been conceded by Urartu in these games.
