Pyunik suffered an embarrassing 7-0 defeat to Red star Belgrade in the Champions League third qualifying round to drop to the Europa League qualifiers. In their recent outing against Shirak FC, Artak Dashyan’s lone goal was enough for the Akademiya to secure their first league win of the season. Sheriff Tiraspol, on the other hand, have recorded two wins from their opening three Moldovan National Division fixtures to sit at the summit of the standings. In their last outing against Dinamo-Auto, Iyayi Atiemwen and Abou Ouattara neted for the Yellow-Blacks to secure all three points.
Pyunik’s new arrival Aleksandar Miljkovic is likely to join the back-four. Juninho could lead the line with Kovalenko and Otubanjo in support.
