Ararat Armenia vs AZ Preview
Ararat-Armenia return to European action eager to get their campaign back on track after consecutive defeats to Sparta Prague and Jagiellonia. The Armenian side conceded seven goals across those matches, highlighting the defensive improvements needed against Dutch opposition. Zidane Banjaqui picked up an injury in the latest outing, with Zhirayr Shaghoyan expected to step in. At home, Ararat-Armenia have averaged 1.40 goals scored per game, giving them some attacking hope despite their European struggles.
AZ Alkmaar, meanwhile, arrive with greater confidence after edging Hapoel Beer Sheva 2-1 in the previous round. The Cheese Farmers were held to a 2-2 draw by ten-man Cambuur at the weekend, though, and will want a sharper performance in Armenia. Mexx Meerdink is expected to return to the starting XI after appearing from the bench against Hapoel, while the visitors have no fresh injury concerns. AZ have averaged 1.83 goals per away game, suggesting they have the firepower to trouble the hosts.
As Ararat-Armenia’s defensive problems should prove costly against a side with more European experience and attacking depth, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Meerdink to Score.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday, 22 October 2026 at 17:45.
