FFA Academy Stadium will host Thursday's Conference League second qualifying round first-leg clash between Alashkert and CFR Cluj. The Armenian side reached this stage after edging past Yelimay Semey on penalties in a dramatic first-round tie. Guinea striker Momo Toure proved his worth by scoring in the return leg and will once again spearhead the attack. Alashkert head into the contest in fine form, winning six of their last ten matches while remaining unbeaten during that period. They have averaged 2.0 goals per game and have been particularly reliable at home, conceding just 0.6 goals per match in their last five outings.
CFR Cluj, meanwhile, are still searching for top form after opening the new Romanian league season with a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Otelul. Their preseason was also inconsistent, although the experienced visitors possess the quality to improve quickly. Defender Ilija Masic remains sidelined through injury, but Cluj still boast plenty of experience in European competitions. The Romanians have built their recent success on defensive organisation, conceding only 0.7 goals per game across their last ten matches while keeping clean sheets in half of those fixtures. They also have positive memories of facing Alashkert, having won both previous meetings without conceding a goal.
Given Cluj's superior European experience and strong defensive record, Away Win should be considered, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Cluj to Win to Nil.
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 16:00.
