The recent clash between Urartu and Alashkert seems to have been a thrilling and high-scoring affair, especially in the second half. With Khurtsidze and Kutalia scoring for Alashkert and Mirzoyan and Ghazaryan responding for Urartu, it appears to have been a competitive contest. However, Alashkert ultimately secured a 4-2 victory with a late goal from Agdon.

Urartu are third on the table with 13 points in 7 games, but they will likely be looking to close the gap on the league leaders, Pyunik, who are 4 points ahead.

Van are going through a challenging period in the league, with a 4-game losing streak and only one win in the second round. Their recent losses to West Armenia and league leaders Pyunik, as well as their struggles to score goals, suggest that they are facing difficulties in the current season.

Sitting in third place with 4 points in 7 games is a tough position to be in, especially with the lowest goal tally in the league. They will need to regroup and find a way to turn their season around if they hope to improve their standing and results in the Armenian Premier League. Facing the defending champions, Urartu, will be a challenging task, and they will need to put up a strong performance to get a positive result.

The historical head-to-head record between Urartu and Van indicates a significant advantage for Urartu, who have won nine out of their 12 encounters. Van have managed to secure victories on two occasions, and there has been one draw.

Furthermore, the fact that Urartu have won the last three games against Van with clean sheets suggests that they have had a recent dominance in this matchup. Van will face a tough challenge to break this trend and secure a positive result in their upcoming fixture against Urartu.

Urartu are without a doubt the favorites to win the game because of their rich history of playing with Van and the fact that they have recently suffered a setback and will be motivated to bounce back from this defeat. In addition, Van have been terrible in front of the net this season, and I do not anticipate any miraculous performances from them in this clash.
