The UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier match between Ararat-Armenia vs Aris will take place at Yerevan Football Academy on Thursday at 8:30 pm IST.
On Thursday (July 27), Ararat-Armenia will welcome Aris to the Technical Center-Academy in Yerevan for the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round. In the previous round, Vardan Minasyan’s team achieved a thrilling victory against Egnatia, an Albanian team, winning 4-2 on penalties after a 5-5 aggregate draw. This marks the second consecutive year that Ararat has made it to this stage of the Conference League qualifiers.
In the 2022-23 season, Ararat faced a 5-3 penalty shootout defeat against Paide Linnameeskond. This time, they are determined to progress further and make their debut in European competitions by reaching the group stage. Their pre-season preparations have been promising, winning all four of their friendly matches. Ararat’s European campaign has been challenging, as they have failed to secure a win in five qualifying matches. However with the advantage of playing at their home, the Armenian team might look to take an early lead in the game.
On the other hand, Aris is attempting to make it to the Conference League for the third consecutive season. In the 2021-22 season, the Greek team was eliminated in the second qualifying round with a 3-2 aggregate loss to Astana. Similarly, last year, they experienced a disappointing result in the third qualifying round, losing 3-2 on aggregate to Maccabi Tel Aviv. Unfortunately, the Yellow-Blacks had a challenging summer as they started with a positive 1-0 victory against Maccabi Haifa in a friendly, but then suffered three consecutive losses in their subsequent matches.
Ararat-Armenia probable starting lineup: Vsevolod Ermakov, Alema, Jose Bueno, Cassio, Hakob Hakobyan, Adriano Castanheira, Karen Muradyan, Amos Obiero, Artur Serobyan, Wilfried Eza, Tenton Yennez
Aris probable starting lineup: Marios Siampanis, Moses Odubajo, Nicolas N’Koulou, Marvin Peersman, Bradley Mazikou, Vladimir Darida, Oghenekaro Etebo, Rafail Sgouros, Juan Iturbe, Andre Gray, L. Christodoulopoulos
