Van form and stats

The previous season, Van's league statistics were 11 wins, 7 draws and 18 losses, results that produced 5th place in the Premier League. In these 36 matches they scored {38 goals} and gave away 59. Appearing as the home side in the former season Van generated 5-4-9 (win-draw-lost) with {21 goals} and 30 conceded.

Van are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 291 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Boniface).

In their previous game, the manager Arzumanyan led his Van to a defeat away at Artsakh. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Charentsavan City Stadium.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Artsakh (0-1).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Van have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 7 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Shirak form and stats

Let's have a look at how Shirak performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 6 draws and 20 defeats. In total they scored 25 and conceded {55 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 2 and lost 10 with 15/29 goals scored/conceded. Only one away game in the Premier League so far for Shirak and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 6 victories, 2 draws and 10 losses from 18 travels.

Shirak play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting West Armenia (placed 8th). What a finish in the last match, as Shirak came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Kodia's goal in the 90th minute.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Lernayin Artsakh.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 6 similar matches played by Shirak in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Shirak, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
