Alashkert take on the visitors FC Santa Coloma at “Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium” in the first-leg match of the 1/8 stage of the Qualification to the UEFA Champions League 2017/2018. The game will be played in Yerevan on Tuesday, June 27th.
Alashkert finished last season with nine-clash undefeated streak having won the Armenia’s Premier League second time in their history. The team got 64 points with 59-26 goals difference in 30 encounters of the country’s elite division and confidently settled at the first place in the table. The forthcoming battle will be the first one for the reigning Armenia’s champion since the 31st of May and will open the season for it. In regard to Alashkert’s performance at the home ground, in 2017 the side recorded four victories, one draw and one loss in six home clashes.

FC Santa Coloma are the unalterable champion of the Primera Divisio across four recent years. Last season the team recorded 60 points taken, 57 goals for and 21 goals against in 27 matches played. The upcoming fight will also be the first one in a new season for the Andorrans. In 2017 they participated in nine clashes on the road resulting in seven triumphs, one draw and one defeat.
Last season the opponents met in the UEFA Champions League and that time the Armenians passed through because of 0:0 and 3:0 scorelines. I believe that this time the hosts will win at their own turf as they are ranked higher than the rival, thus they have to solve the issue of promotion to the next Eurocups’ stage in face of their fans.
Prediction for the match: Alashkert to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
