Shirak Gyumri take on the visitors Ararat-Armenia in the round 32 match of Armenian Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 17th at Gyumri City Stadium (Gyumri).
This season, Shirak have returned to the elite of Armenian football, and the team can be rather satisfied with their current position. They are currently in 6th place out of 10 possible, and the relegation zone does not pose a significant threat to them. Admittedly, the team's current form is not particularly impressive, as they alternate between draws and losses, mainly Shirak. Bookmakers are already counting them out in this match. However, although Ararat is currently in 3rd place, the team lacks motivation since they cannot move from that position. Their current form is not very confident at the moment. Therefore, expecting a defeat like 0-3 or worse by Shirak is not the most promising thing in this match. The hosts are capable of at least avoiding a heavy defeat, and they might even be able to secure some points.

Ararat haму firmly settled in 3rd place, with a 7-point gap from 2nd place and a 9-point lead over 4th place. The team comfortably finishes the championship as a bronze medalist. It is difficult to characterize Ararat's current form as quality since they alternate between victories and defeats, and their victories are usually hard-fought, with a one-goal difference. Therefore, it is difficult to agree with the bookmakers who predict a crushing victory for the guests with a significant goal difference. If the guests win here, it is much more likely that the victory will be slim, perhaps with a score of 2-1. Therefore, it is not advisable to bet on the guests with a negative handicap in this match.
I immediately find the bet on the hosts with a positive handicap appealing. Currently, there are no particular indications that this match will end with a resounding victory for the guests. Both teams are already in a phase of finishing the championship, so even a draw is possible. However, I will choose a reliable option, which is as follows: Shirak with a handicap (+2).
Prediction for the match: Shirak to win with +2.0 handicap.
