Pyunik Yerevan take on the visitors Dudelange in the first leg of quarterfinals of UEFA Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 19th at Republican Stadium (Yerevan).
Pyunik have proved themselves as a strong-willed team. The most titled club in Armenia is used to playing in the Champions League qualifications, but has never had great success here. Last season, Pyunik won the championship for the 15th time, although the title cannot be called on duty, because the club has not won the national championship since 2015. Already in the first round, the Armenians got a strong and experienced CFR Cluj. In the first match, Pyunik played at home, where he was considered an underdog, but a draw was recorded. It was even more difficult in the second leg on the road, as they had to equalize the score first at the end of regular time, and then overtime - 2:2, only in the penalty shootout they managed to beat the Romanian champion.

Dudelange in their current conditions are quite unpredictable team. The club from Luxembourg can safely be called an experienced European Cup fighter, they even managed to reach the group stage of the Europa League twice. Last season, Dudelange won the title for the 16th time, thus earning the right to play in the Champions League. The bookmakers did not consider the club a favorite in the first round of qualification against the Albanian Tirana, but the team was able to beat the opponent twice - 1:0 at home and 2:1 on the road.
On paper, the bookmakers give a slight advantage to the Armenian club, which can be explained by the factor of their own field and great European cup experience. Pyunik's chances of success in the first game do look more preferable, but both teams will try to play as accurately as possible at their own goal. As practice shows, in the first match, opponents always risk less, so we suggest betting on a total of less than 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
