YEREVAN, Armenia (Interstat) — A pivotal Armenian Premier League derby arrives Tuesday as Alashkert hosts rival Ararat just three days after a dramatic victory in their last meeting.

The fixture, set for April 14, 2026, offers Ararat a chance for immediate redemption following a crushing 3-2 home loss to Alashkert on Saturday. That result snapped a dominant streak for Ararat in the head-to-head series, which had seen them outscore Alashkert 7-0 in their two prior league matches this season, including a 4-0 win on March 15.

Form, however, heavily favors the hosts. Alashkert enters with momentum from Saturday’s comeback win and is unbeaten in its last three matches across all competitions. Ararat, in stark contrast, is mired in a severe slump. The visiting side has lost five consecutive league matches since its March 15 rout of Alashkert, conceding 15 goals in that dismal stretch. Their most recent result before Saturday’s derby was a 6-3 home defeat to Pyunik.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projection for Tuesday’s rematch is a narrow 1-0 victory for Alashkert. That forecast aligns with the recent shift in momentum between the capital city clubs.

The compressed turnaround between games adds an element of physical and psychological intrigue. Alashkert will aim to prove its weekend win was a true turning point, while Ararat is desperate to stop its alarming slide down the table.

Beyond the derby, both teams face challenging schedules. Alashkert will travel to face Urartu on April 19. Ararat must prepare for another difficult test against league leader Pyunik on April 18.

Tuesday’s match kicks off at 4 p.m. local time at the Alashkert Stadium in Yerevan.
