Pyunik vs Shirak Prediction: A low goal-scoring game expected

Pyunik and Shirak will settle scores at the Junior Sport Stadium on Sunday in a round 5 fixture of the Armenian Premier League. Defending champions Pyunik are winless this season and have not scored a goal. Can they return to winning ways here? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

Pyunik

Pyunik missed out on a place in the Conference League after losing 4-2 on aggregate to Celje in the qualification final. Their attention is now back to the league, where they lost 2-0 to Alashkert in their last game. They played a goalless draw in their first game of the season against Urartu. They sit 9th on the table with one point in 2 games. They have not had a league goal this season but have conceded 2.

Shirak

Shirak suffered a 2-0 loss to Van in their last game. They have won 2 and lost 2 of their 4 games this season. Interestingly, the two games they won this season have been away from home. They sit 6th on the table with 6 points in 4 games, scoring 4 goals and conceding 8.

H2H

Since 2018, both sides have met 21 times. Pyunik won 13, Shirak won 3 and 5 games ended in draws. Pyunik are unbeaten in their last 11 games against Shirak. The previous 4 games between these sides ended 1-0 or 1-1.

Expert Betting Tips

Pyunik are winless in the league this season without getting a goal in their name. Moreover, the last 4 games between the two sides saw a low goal-scoring event. With this, I expect the game to see less than 3 goals, and one of the teams will keep a clean sheet.
