Van form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Van have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Charentsavan City Stadium.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Van, who played 1-1 against BKMA. That match was also played at this venue (Charentsavan City Stadium).

Heartbreak before that as Van lost 0-2 at Alashkert's place.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Van as they have a new game in only four days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Ararat-Armenia are visiting.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Van here at Charentsavan City Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 11 games). 14 goals have been conceded.

Pyunik form and stats

The away performances of Pyunik have been very solid so far with 10 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat in the Premier League. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Noravank game have they lost an away game, meaning Pyunik has taken points from nine away matches in a row.

208 minutes! That's how long the Pyunik goalkeeper David Yurchenko and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Pyunik play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Artsakh (placed 5th).

Before that, Pyunik secured a home win against Ararat-Armenia with the score 1-0.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Urartu.

They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).

Head 2 Head
