Van
ArmeniaCurrent form
For some time, Van showed amazing results for its level and was even among the top three teams in the Premier League. After that, a natural decline set in and now the team is in fifth place.

The visitors managed to beat Shirak (3:0) in the national cup, but then suffered four defeats in a row in the championship. They managed to break this streak by winning at home against Ararat (4:0) and Urartu (3:1). In the last round, the club from Charentsavan unexpectedly lost at home to Yerevan CSKA (2:3).

Tip and bets
West Armenia has been playing quite well in recent matches, especially at home. At the same time, Van has lost three away matches in a row, but is considered the favorite of this match due to its higher position in the table. We believe that the hosts have a better chance of winning this match, West Armenia will certainly be able to take at least one point.
Our prediction - West Armenia will not lose for 2.10
Bet on total
In the last face-to-face match, West Armenia conceded six unanswered goals from Van. The home team players will probably draw conclusions and not repeat such a failure, and the visitors are not in as good a shape as they were then. We believe that this match will not be productive.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.02
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.40
