A good first leg result for Alashkert
New coach Aleksander Grigoryan’s only fifth match in charge of Alashkert produced a great result in the UEFA Champions League first leg match as the Armenian team returned from Wales with a 2-2 draw and a big chance to advance to the second round of qualification for the first time in their history.
Knowing that the away goal rule is in use anymore after a UEFA decision, Alashkert need to win the match to advance. In the first leg match, Alashkert had more chances to score with 15 goal attempts but only four of them were on target. This was Grigoryan’s team’s first match after a six-week break on the back of their Armenian title win for the first time since 2018.

Connahs Quay Nomads FC hoping to register their first win in Europe
Like their opponents, Connahs Quay also haven’t passed the first round of the Champions League qualification first round. They won their domestic league for the first time in their history last season and are making their second appearance in the Champions League.
Connahs Quay lost in their first-ever Champions League appearance 2-0 to Sarajevo in a one-legged match. The first leg match against Alashkert should give them confidence having registered their first positive result. The Welsh side need to be more effective on the attacking side though as they had just two attempts on goal in the first leg.

Alashkert vs Connahs Quay Nomads FC Prediction
Both teams are looking for their first win in Europe and with no away goals rule, there must be a winner by goals in this match or if there is a draw after extra time there will be a penalty shootout.
Alashkert looked the better side as they had more chances in the first leg and with them now playing at home we think they are capable of scoring.
Connah’s Quay has to play for the win like their opponents and will have to release their players from the defensive bases and attack. In any case, we may see goals from both sides as they both need a win.
