Match Details

FC Pyunik ended their last campaign with a superb run of results. They won seven and drew three of their last ten fixtures, a run which played a part in them clinching the league title. Although, it is easier said than done but the Armenian outfit will be looking to translate their domestic success to the continental stage. However, with no experience of Champions League group stages so far in their history, Pyunik would undoubtedly have their work cut-out and will be entering into the game as the underdogs.

As for CFR Cluj, they concluded their last season with two massive wins but a key 3-1 defeat to arch rivals, FCSB. Nonetheless, they managed to hold off all competition and win their eighth Romanian league title which was also their fifth in a row. Cluj have already played four pre-season friendlies in the build-up to this Champions League tie, winning all of them and this will certainly give them great momentum against Pyunik. On the back of success in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League in previous seasons, Cluj would undoubtedly look to gain an advantage to take to their home stadium for the second leg next week.

Possible Lineups

Both the teams will be looking to field their respective strongest XIs with the goal of advancing further in the competition. Some changes are expected from their last season’s strongest XI as the transfer window is up and running in Europe and the teams have begun their process of reshuffling their squads. FC Pyunik have been hit hard by the departure of forward, Hugo Firmino but will be content with the fact that they have no fitness issues. CFR Cluj, too have a full roster to pick from.

FC Pyunik possible line-up: Buchnev, Gonzalez, Vakulenko, Bratkov, Gajic, Juninho, Davidyan, Cociuc, Gareginyan, Dashyan, Otubanjo
