LiontipsUrartu - Shirak. Forecast and bets on the match of the Armenian championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Urartu is one of the main contenders for the Premier League title and the current leader of the championship. Last season, the team took only fourth place and is aiming to return to the podium this season. For now, the hosts are in first place, but Pyunik and Ararat-Armenia are pressing from behind. These teams are only one point behind, and also have games in hand. Urartu position was seriously damaged by defeats to Noah (1:2) and Van (1:3) in their last away matches. Between these matches, there was also a home victory over Yerevan CSKA (4:2).

1.72Tip and bets
The hosts may soon lose their lead in the championship, so they can't lose any more points. This season, the team has not suffered a single defeat on its home field and it is unlikely that today guests will be able to break this streak. Shirak has not shown outstanding play this season and has difficulty scoring points even against weaker opponents. We believe that Urartu will win here without any problems.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1) on Urartu for 1.80
Bet on total
The visitors are playing defensively and are unlikely to deviate from their tactics in a match with the championship top team. The underdog is unlikely to score, but may well avoid a rout. In our opinion, we won't see more than two goals here.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.83
Bet on the first half
Urartu is unlikely to spend much time on reconnaissance; most likely, the championship leader will go on the attack from the very first minutes and earn an advantage in the score by the break.
Our prediction is Urartu victory in the first half for 2.00
