Urartu have displayed a promising streak lately, with just one loss in their last six league matches. However, their most recent away game against Pyunik Yerevan left much to be desired, as they conceded three goals in the first half. It started with an early goal in the 17th minute, followed by two more in the 35th and 44th minutes. Despite managing to score a consolation goal in stoppage time (44+7 minutes) before heading into halftime, they ultimately surrendered all three points.
In their current form, Urartu sit comfortably in the league standings at the 3rd position, having accumulated 26 points from 13 games. They've found the back of the net 24 times and conceded 18 goals.
Russian international midfielder Temur Dzhikiya, on loan from Ulyanovsk, has been in remarkable form for Urartu. With a total of 6 goals, he might just be the key to turning things around in their upcoming fixture.
Shirak
LDWWL
Shirak find themselves in an unfortunate spot, enduring a challenging season with 8 losses out of 13 games. Their most recent match against Noah ended in a disappointing 2-0 defeat. To make matters worse, Shirak conceded both goals in the first half, with one coming at the 15th minute and the second at the 34th minute. They couldn't turn the tide in either half and had to surrender all three points.
As things stand, Shirak are just 3 points away from the dreaded relegation zone, sitting in the 8th position among 10 teams. They've managed to accumulate only 10 points from their 13 matches, scoring just 13 goals while conceding 22 goals in total.
A bright spot for Shirak is their 23-year-old forward, Lyova Mryan, who has been a standout player for the team. He's notched up a total of 3 goals and remains a unique talent in their lineup.
H2H
