Incredibly close game on a knife edge
Tactical battle
This match will be a battle of style, as Vahe Gevorgyan is a control-oriented coach that looks to stifle the opposition with a narrow midfield and compact defensive block, whilst Andrey Karpovich's Elimai FC are more direct and vertical. Elimai FC's are incredibly effective in their counter attacking, with their wingbacks getting forward and making some real chances.
Form and key moments
Elimai FC and Alashkert both come into this match on the back of solid runs of 2-1-2 and 2-3-0, respectively, and that 1-1 draw in the first leg of their UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 game has them on a knifes edge ahead of this return leg.
Key players
Roman Murtazaev has given Elimai FC the edge in the goal-scoring department, scoring 2 of their 6 goals in the last 5 games. Arsen Ashirbek has been their sharpest shooter in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, scoring 1 goal in 1 game.
Alashkert’s defence is difficult to break down
Alashkert's away record in all competitions is 2 wins and 2 draws from their 4 trips, conceding just 1.00 goals and keeping themselves in the game at all times. Elimai FC's home record is 2 wins and 3 defeats in 5 games, but they've conceded 1.40 goals this term.
- Alashkert have been incredibly tough to break down in their last 5 games, having beaten Gandzasar Kapan 3-1 and FC Shirak 2-0 in the Armenian Premier League 2025/2026, before a 1-1 draw with Elimai FC.
- David Terteryan leads the team in goals in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 with 1 goal in 1 appearance.
Draw makes sense
