Ararat-Armenia hosts Omonia in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 19h at Football Academy Stadium (Yerevan)
The newly minted champions of Armenia, who have won the title for two years in a row, have already started the new season after a short pause. So far, Ararat-Armenia lost to Noa (1-2) in the extra time of the match for the Super Cup of the country. Ararat-Armenia looked better, but they conceded in the 90th minute and did not have enough strength for extra time, but the match is very useful in terms of physics. As for the championship, there was a 0-0 combat draw with Alashkert in the first round. Ararat is ready for the Champions League physically and mentally, especially since the opponent has not played official matches in the new season yet.

Omonia has been preparing for the new season for three weeks, and it has played many friendly matches. The team plays in different ways, but the essence of friendly matches is that the speeds are not the same. For the first time in many years, the Nicosians managed to win the title of champion in Cyprus, so the Armenians are even stronger in terms of experience. It is unlikely that Omonia will play open football in the first match.
The teams did not intersect anywhere. Ararat has already managed to start a new season, while the previous one ended not so long ago. Omonia is only gaining momentum through friendly matches, where it gained only one victory in five games. Therefore, the team is clearly far from its best shape, and Ararat should take advantage of it. The Armenians and Nicosians are accustomed to the heat, so the weather should not be a problem, but now it seems to me that the game shape is on the side of Ararat. Omonia still needs to gain it. I think the hosts should at least not lose.
Prediction for the match: Ararat-Armenia to win with +0.5 handicap
