Shirak Gyumri vs Ararat-Armenia tips and predictions

Happy times not certain for Ararat-Armenia faithful

Shirak Gyumri have been written off and that isn't news to anyone. But the visitors are just too short a price. They will probably get the job done but they are unbackable.

This Shirak Gyumri team might have their backs to the wall in quick time. However, the hosts have registered 10 wins in 19 matches while the visitors have been defeated in 2 of their last 4 matches. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that is such a massive favourite.

Shirak Gyumri are going to need some tremendously good fortune on their side. While not necessarily enough to change the outcome of the match, the hosts have posted some decent numbers. When they're at home they look confident. Their recent 14 home matches have them knocking in an average of 2.2 goals per game while backing that up with good defensive stats. They have only conceded an average of 0.5 goals over their last 15 games at home.

Ararat-Armenia can be hit when they lose their shape. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 4 matches. But with the match ahead of them they'll expect to reacquaint themselves with winning ways. After all, they are odds-on to win for a reason.

The sportsbooks' prices suggest that one of these sides doesn't look likely to score because Ararat-Armenia are such big favourites. It doesn't look like the bet of the day but the Yes BTTS bet could be a fun side bet.
