Ararat Yerevan vs Alashkert tips and predictions

Deadlock beckons as live underdogs look to spoil the party

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Alashkert has made them unbackable. Ararat Yerevan don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors on their toes. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Making a fortress out of their home ground, Ararat Yerevan have conceded at an average of just 0.5 goals per game over their last 12 matches and Alashkert have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 3 of the last 6 have ended in a draw.

If Alashkert stamp their authority on the match they are likely to keep a clean sheet. It might not be a popular opinion but the No BTTS bet seems sensible.

Alashkert have drawn 5 of their last 11 matches. They drew 0-0 with Ararat Yerevan last Monday and a similar 0-0 cannot be written off here. And without much to go on the feeling is this also ends in deadlock.
