Urartu take on the visitors Ararat Yerevan in the round 36 match of Armenian Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 6th.
In the previous round, Urartu officially became the champion. It was quite unexpected, as this team was not considered the main contender for the title at the start of the season. However, they managed to endure the entire distance and fend off the fierce pressing from Pyunik towards the end of the championship. Now the question arises whether the hosts will play this match at their full potential or simply relax and show a lackluster performance in this inconsequential match. There is a possibility that Urauty will not exert themselves too much and will play at around 50% of their capabilities, or even less. It is a common practice that as soon as a team becomes the country's champion, they tend to engage in trivial matters. Even teams like Barcelona and Manchester City are known to do so. Therefore, one should not expect a remarkable victory from the hosts in this match.

Ararat finished in 4th position last season but currently occupies only the 6th spot. They are a mid-table team in Armenian football this season. There is nothing terrible about their results, but there is nothing exceptional either. As for the upcoming match, Ararat will likely play the same way they have been playing recently, without planning to change their tactics for the final round. Ararat has had a decent run recently, earning 7 points out of 9 possible in their last 3 matches. Their emotional state has remained unchanged compared to previous encounters, as they have been stuck in the middle of the table for quite some time. Therefore, the upcoming match for Ararat should be quite routine, and they are capable of putting up a respectable performance against the reigning country champion.
Urartu will surely play in a very relaxed state in this match, and a solid mid-table team like Ararat can take advantage of that. So, I will focus on the betting option: Ararat with a handicap (+1.5). This bet seems very reliable since, even if the hosts aim for a victory, it is much more likely to be a narrow win like 1-0 or 2-1, rather than a big margin. Accordingly, this handicap will work in favor of the guests.
Prediction for the match: Urartu to win with -1.0 handicap.
