Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium will host the first leg of the Conference League first qualifying round as Alashkert and Yelimay Semey face off in an intriguing European encounter. Alashkert are still waiting to begin their new domestic campaign, but they have already tested themselves against strong opposition in pre-season, most recently suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv. Karen Nalbandyan will once again be the main attacking threat after scoring 15 league goals last season. The Armenian side have been difficult to beat in recent months, winning six of their last ten matches while conceding just 0.9 goals per game. Their home record is particularly encouraging, with only 0.6 goals conceded per match and a 60% home win rate.
Yelimay Semey, meanwhile, are preparing for their Conference League debut and will be eager to leave a positive impression. The Kazakh outfit have already kicked off their domestic campaign and head into the tie after a 1-0 victory over Kyzylzhar. Experienced striker Roman Murtazaev remains the visitors' biggest attacking weapon, but Yelimay have struggled for consistency, winning only three of their last ten matches while failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their previous five away outings. With Alashkert enjoying greater European experience and stronger defensive numbers, the hosts appear well positioned to take a first-leg advantage.
Home advantage and greater European experience give the Armenians the edge. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals (Yelimay have seen both teams score in 70% of their last ten matches, while Alashkert average 1.8 goals per game).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 9 July 2026 at 17:00.
