Alashkert are the league winners in Armenia. 28 matches gained the team 55 points with 50-24 goal difference. The visitors have already played in one qualifying round, beating Santa Coloma from Andorra, (0-0, 0-3). Alashkert played seven matches on the road this year, taking two wins, three draws and two defeats, which is quite poor result for the league winners and eurocups participant.
Dinamo Tbilisi and Alashkert haven’t faced one another previously. The level of leagues and the opponents is quite low, but Georgian side is more skilled and show better results in official matches. We should expect the hosts to prove their worth in home leg and record a victory at own stadium.
Prediction for the match: Dinamo Tbilisi to win.
