LiontipsAlashkert - Shirak. Forecast and bets on the match of the Armenian championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Alashkert is having its worst season in recent years and is only in tenth place in the Armenian Premier League. The hosts are ahead of only the main outsider and newcomer to the league, Gandzasar. The team is clearly planning to get rid of the prospect of participating in the play-offs and will try to fight for a place in the top half of the table. After three defeats in a row, Alashkert still managed to win twice, beating the inferior Gandzasar (1:0) and Yerevan CSKA (2:0). They were unable to extend their winning streak - in the last round, the capital team unexpectedly lost to West Armenia (0:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Hayk Musakhanyan received a red card in the last round and is now serving a disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the hosts' last six matches have ended in a draw
- The hosts have had red cards in three of their last seven matches
Tentative lineup : Manukyan - Khachatryan, Manucharyan, Patsatsiya, Martirosyan - Hovhannisyan, Kato, Hovsepyan, Metoyan - Glishic, Avetisyan.
Current form
Shirak has not fought for high places in the Armenian championship for a long time, but continues to hold on to the middle of the table. The team currently occupies sixth place, but is only two points ahead of today opponent from the play-off zone. It is worth noting that in 12 matches, the visitors have scored only eight goals, ahead of only the weakest team in the league, Gandzasar. After being eliminated from the Armenian Cup by Van (0:3) in the 1/8 finals, the club from Gyumri managed to win at home against West Armenia (2:0), but then failed to beat Gandzasar (0:0) and suffered a big defeat to Ararat-Armenia (0:3).

1.72Tip and bets
Shirak performs well in away matches - three wins in five away matches this season, and the Panthers have only lost to championship contenders - Ararat-Armenia and Pyunik. Alashkert also lost at home to Shirak in their last face-to-face meeting (2:3). The visitors are deservedly higher in the standings and will most likely not give in today either.
Our prediction - Shirak will not lose at 1.68
Bet on total
Both teams have yet to reach double-digit goal totals. It is obvious that attacking play is not the strong point of today opponents. We believe that today the clubs will focus on defense, so we should not expect a goal extravaganza here.
Forecast - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.58
Bet on the first half
It is obvious that the opponents will not force the events on the field. In three of the last four face-to-face matches, the first half ended in a goalless draw, and such a development of events should be expected this time as well.
Prediction: draw in the first half with odds of 1.97
