Pyunik Yerevan take on the visitors Urartu in the round 17 match of Armenian Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, December 9th at Republican Stadium (Yerevan).
This season Pyunik tried his hand even on the international arena, and it turned out even to show a certain grin to the opponents. As for the affairs in the national championship, Pyunik is doing relatively well here, there is still quite an impressive lag behind the first position, but Pyunik's pace seems unstoppable and the team has not lost in the national championship for a long time. Now, although Pyunik will host the championship leader, it is the hosts who are the favorites here, and it’s really worth agreeing with this. After all, Pyunik is a much more experienced team, and Urartu, which, as it were, is not a particularly formidable force in Armenian football, seems to be starting to slow down a little bit. This is how the bet on Pyunik looks more preferable here.
Urartu is the mid-table side of Armenian football, but this season they managed to catch on for the results. Now the team is leading the standings, but Ararat is not far away, and is waiting for the moment - to push the upstart from the first position. Well, there are some hints that Urartu really can’t cope with its leading position a little. Two rounds ago we burned out 0:3 in the battle of Ararat, in the last round we were barely able to beat modest Shirak 3:2. Well, now the battle is with the reigning champions of the country, and also away. Somehow, there are not many prerequisites for the fact that this duel for the visitors will end in triumph and the extraction of 3 points.
This is a match of two teams from the top 3. But, even though Urartu now has +10 points advantage over Pyunik. But, class and experience are on the side of the hosts of the pitch. In fact, the bet here should rather be on them. I stop my choice on the option of Pyunik’s victory with 0 handicap. Naturally, it is necessary to insure against a draw here.
Prediction for the match: Pyunik to win with 0.0 handicap.
