1.72Tip and bets
Shirak performs well in away matches - three wins in five away matches this season, and the Panthers have only lost to championship contenders - Ararat-Armenia and Pyunik. Alashkert also lost at home to Shirak in their last face-to-face meeting (2:3). The visitors are deservedly higher in the standings and will most likely not give in today either.
Our prediction - Shirak will not lose at 1.68
Bet on total
Both teams have yet to reach double-digit goal totals. It is obvious that attacking play is not the strong point of today opponents. We believe that today the clubs will focus on defense, so we should not expect a goal extravaganza here.
Forecast - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.58
Bet on the first half
It is obvious that the opponents will not force the events on the field. In three of the last four face-to-face matches, the first half ended in a goalless draw, and such a development of events should be expected this time as well.
Prediction: draw in the first half with odds of 1.97
