Ararat-Armenia hosts AIK in the first leg of the Champions League qualification 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 9th at FFA Academy Stadium (Yerevan)
Frankly speaking, there is no club football in Armenia at all ... Well, in the sense that they look completely helpless on the international stage. And this is the case when it is possible to talk about all the teams as a whole. Since the champions in Armenia are changing, but there are no results in the Champions League... The Armenian teams have beaten some clubs like Andorran champion in recent years... And if the opponent is at least a little higher in class, they suffer crushing defeats. Will Ararat change something in this tradition of failing qualifiers for the Champions League? Well, it is unlikely... Although the team won the championship last season, it did not do it very confidently, outranking Pyunik by just one point. The team lost often enough, often played in draws, and in general, even at the level of Armenian rivals, Ararat does not look confident, what can we say about the champion of Sweden.

The Swedish championship is now in full swing, and the team of Rikard Norling defends its champion’s title in the championship! It is not very good so far because the team takes the third position in the standings after 14 rounds, and the backlog from leading Malmo amounts to 6 points. Well, AIK is frankly lucky with a rival in the starting round of qualification! Perhaps the Swedes could not even wait for a weaker opponent at this stage! The team has great experience in European competitions. I wouldn’t say that AIK will be a serious contender when it advances to the third round, and there it may play with a team like Copenhagen or Celtic. But at this stage, and in particular with this opponent, the Swedish team looks very powerful! Considering not the best situation in the national championship, the Swedish team is interested in solving everything in the first match of this standoff! And the return game may be only a formality!
The level of national championships and teams is completely different! The Swedish team is the clear favorite! And the Swedes are quite capable to win the first match with a three-goal difference. But I stopped at a simple victory of AIK for very good odds!
Prediction for the match: AIK to win
