About this match

**Both sides stumbling through the group stage**, but AZ Alkmaar carries the pedigree and European experience. This is Ararat's chance to make some noise at home — if they can stay compact 🔥

Ararat grabbed wins vs FC Ararat and earned a draw earlier, but conceded heavy in losses to Jagiellonia and Sparta Praha. AZ are in similarly choppy form (2W-1D-2L), though they've handled big pressure better historically. The Dutch outfit just dropped 0-2 to Feyenoord, so they're hunting a response.

Key storylines:

- **AZ Alkmaar's midfield control** with **P. Koopmeiners** and **M. Chávez** will likely dominate possession and tempo in Yerevan
- **Ararat's pressing intensity** up front — **S. Lima** and **A. Serobyan** need quick transitions since they won't see much of the ball
- Missing **J. Hornkamp** and **K. Smit** hurts AZ's depth in attack; **B. Kovács** carries extra load

Expected lineups:

- **FC Ararat-Armenia**: J. Victor, E. Grigoryan, B. Wilson, J. J. Bueno, H. Oliveira, M. Carlier, J. Balanta, K. Muradyan, Z. Banjaqui, S. Lima, A. Serobyan
- **AZ Alkmaar**: J. De Busser, W. Goes, L. Schouten, E. Dijkstra, M. Chávez, P. Koopmeiners, R. Daal, M. Meerdink, D. Kwakman, W. Patati, B. Kovács

Prediction:

**AZ 2-1 Ararat** — Dutch class edges home, but Ararat scraps for a respectable consolation.
