Command Analysis

FC Noah

Current form
Last season, Noah was extremely close to its first championship title in its history, but at the finish of the championship it stopped two points behind Pyunik, so the first championship had to be postponed. Now the team is not even in the top three, but there is an objective reason - the participation of the hosts in the European Cups, due to which a number of Noah matches were postponed. Now Rui Mota team is in fourth place and is seven points behind the leader, with four matches in reserve. In the last round of the championship, the Abovyan club won a big victory over Alashkert (4:0), and before that the hosts went to London, where they were routed by Chelsea (0:8) in the Conference League match.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the lineup before the match with Ararat.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the hosts' last ten matches have ended in a draw
- The team has won an impressive 13 games in a row at home
Tentative line-up: Chancharevich - Ambartsumyan, Pablo, Silva, Mendoza - Oulad Omar, Sangar - Pinson, Manvelyan, Avanesyan - Mateus Ayas

Ararat

Current form
Ararat has not been fighting for anything serious in recent years and constantly finishes the season in the middle of the table. And now the club is only in seventh place in the Premier League and is two points ahead of the penultimate Alashkert. The last two months have been simply terrible for the club - in the championship, Tigran Yesoyan charges suffered seven defeats in a row, and also flew out of the cup, losing in a penalty shootout to Gandzasar. Only in the last round did the guests manage to interrupt the losing streak, defending a goalless draw with one of the leaders, Ararat-Armenia (0:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their lineup ahead of the match against Noah.
Interesting trends for betting
- The visitors have not scored a single goal in the last four matches.
- The club has not won for nine matches in a row
Estimated lineup: Thiago Gomes - Dombila, Marcelinho, Mzugi, Samsonyan - Milakyan, Faye, Grigoryan - Kante, Gur, Galstyan
Trends
Bet Exact score 2:0
The hosts have won two of their last five games by that score.
7.00Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in seven of the home team last eight matches
1.50Tip and bets
Any result other than a confident victory for Noah will be extremely unexpected. The hosts have gained excellent form and extended their winning streak at home to 13, and are clearly not going to stop there. The visitors are now in a clear crisis and are unlikely to be able to put up a fight against one of the strongest Armenian clubs in this state. We do not think that the hosts will have problems getting three points.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Noah for 1.68
Bet on total
The visitors have big problems with converting scoring chances, so it is unlikely that Ararat will score. However, in the last round the club managed to keep a clean sheet in the match with Ararat-Armenia, one of the leaders of the championship. Perhaps they will be able to defend themselves competently now.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.10
Bet on the first half
Noah is unlikely to spend much time on reconnaissance; most likely, the hosts will go on the attack from the very first minutes and earn an advantage in the score by the break.
Our prediction is a Noah win in the first half for 1.60
