Urartu's recent match ended in a 2-0 loss to Noah, with Miranyan scoring in stoppage time of the first half and Baghramyan adding another goal in stoppage time of the match. Despite this loss, Urartu had won their first two matches of the league, defeating BKMA and Ararat-Armenia with scores of 2-1. Currently, they are in 3rd place on the table with 6 points from 3 games, having scored 4 goals and conceded 4 goals as well.
FC Pyunik Yerevan
Pyunik faced a tough challenge in the Europa Conference League qualification rounds, losing 6-0 on aggregate to Bodo/Glimt. However, their performance in the domestic league has been more promising. They secured a 2-0 victory against Alashkert and managed a 1-1 draw against Ararat in their opening league games of the season. These results have placed them in 4th position on the league table with 4 points earned from 2 matches. Pyunik have scored 3 goals and conceded 1 goal so far in the season.
H2H
Urartu and Pyunik have faced each other 15 times from 2020 to the present. Their head-to-head record is quite balanced, with each team winning 6 matches and the remaining 3 games ending in draws. In their most recent encounter in February 2023, Urartu emerged victorious with a 1-0 scoreline. This history suggests that matches between these two teams are often closely contested and can go either way.
