Saburtalo won its 1st champion’s title in history in the last championship of Georgia. The team managed to eliminate Moldovan Sheriff (which is much more experienced in European qualifications) in the 1st round. Saburtalo lost 1-3 at home and won 0-3 away. In general, the team has tangible problems in defense. In the local championship, Saburtalo conceded 26 goals in 22 rounds. It is too much as for the 2nd team in the standings. But it scored 38 times. Only the leader has 1 more, as well as Torpedo Kutaisi.
It was not for nothing that I described the performance of both rivals so vividly. Based on these facts, I assume that there will also be a lot of goals in the upcoming match since both teams are more focused on the attack. Ararat doesn’t override anyone’s authority: it scored the Swedish champion more than once, although it had been created just recently. The team was born as an independent football unit only last year. And this unit, as we see, categorically refuses to lose at home. Despite the ranks and regalia of the visitors. In the last 15 home games, Ararat lost only to Pyunik. And it will probably at least not lose to the Georgians. Yes, they eliminated Sheriff, but they are not particularly stable in the away matches. Saburtalo did not win in 8 of the last 15 games on the road. But 12 of them ended with more than 2 goals scored. Based on the available data, it can be assumed that the match will be scoring. The fans are likely to see at least 3 goals. And most likely, the hosts will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Ararat-Armenia to win with +0.5 handicap and Over 2.5 goals scored
