Tight affair in Armenia
Alashkert are unbeaten in their recent outings but the Armenian hosts are in slightly better form heading into this Thursday's UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, tie. Vahe Gevorgyan's men have won 6 and drawn 4 of their past 10 games in all competitions, whereas the Romanian side have won 4, drawn 4 and lost 2 of theirs. Gevorgyan has fashioned Alashkert into a compact, hard-to-break down unit in a 4-2-3-1 system that likes to get wide in the attack and will be hunting down set pieces in this fixture, which could give them an edge. The hosts have scored 1.80 goals per home game in all competitions and conceded only 0.60 - that makes for a solid platform on European nights, but they will have to be on their game against a more established side than Elimai FC, whom they beat 5-6 on penalties after a 2-2 aggregate draw in their UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 first leg. Antonio Folha's CFR Cluj have had a few more games to get into a rhythm this season and they have brought the side into a more positional look than last term. The 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 looks to make the best use of the width that they have and the rotation in midfield to help keep the play circulating, but it can take time to build a strong rhythm. Our Alashkert vs CFR 1907 Cluj preview points to a tight contest.
