Following the results of last season, Alashkert took the fourth place in the Armenian Premier League and received the right to represent his country in the Conference League. In the first qualifying round, the team played with Kazakhstan's Elim. The opponents drew both matches 1-1, and they also failed to determine the strongest in extra time in the second leg. Only in the penalty shootout did Alashkert get a ticket to the second qualifying round.
The CFR has extensive experience in European competitions, has repeatedly made it to the group stage of the Champions League, and has twice reached the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. Last season, the representative of Cluj in the national championship took only the third place, which allowed them to start qualifying for the Conference League from the second round. The national Championship has already begun, in the first round, the CFR lost to Ocelul on the road with a score of 1:2.
In the first qualifying round, Alashkert overcame Yelimai's resistance only in a penalty shootout. There is a match ahead against a much more serious opponent, who has extensive experience of European Cup performances at the highest level. CFR Cluj has a more balanced squad, there is already playing practice, as the season has started in Romania. We expect that the Romanians will be able to achieve victory through their experience today.
