It seems like Urartu had a mixed start to their season. They began with a hard-fought victory against BKMA in their first league game of the season, where Ozbiliz played a crucial role by scoring both goals, including the late winner from a penalty.
However, their fortunes took a dip in the Europa Conference League qualification, suffering a 3-2 defeat in both legs against Romanian side Farul Constanta. Although they put up a fight in both matches, it wasn't enough to secure qualification to the next round.
Despite the early setback in Europe, Urartu enter this upcoming contest as the defending champions in their domestic league. Their title-winning pedigree makes them favorites for this game, and they will be looking to bounce back from their European disappointment with a strong performance.
As the season progresses, Urartu will be eager to maintain their winning form in the domestic league and potentially defend their championship title. However, they will also have to address the issues that led to their elimination from the Europa Conference League qualification if they are to make further progress in European competitions.
FC Ararat-Armenia
Ararat-Armenia also had a mixed start to their season, participating in the Europa Conference League qualification rounds like their upcoming opponent. In the first leg against Aris, they managed to secure a 1-1 draw, which was a decent result for them. However, they faced a narrow 1-0 defeat in the second leg, resulting in their elimination from the competition.
Despite the disappointment in Europe, Ararat-Armenia bounced back strongly in their first league outing, securing a convincing 3-1 victory against Ararat. This positive start in the domestic league will provide them with confidence and momentum as they approach their next fixture.
As the season progresses, Ararat-Armenia will aim to build on their early success in the league and continue their pursuit of success both domestically and, possibly, in other competitions. The experience gained from their European campaign may also serve as a valuable learning opportunity for the team to improve and grow as they move forward.
