Ararat-Armenia have been formidable at home in qualifying, winning both matches without conceding, but they face a significant challenge with four regular starters missing for this tie. Celje are yet to win in their campaign but have shown resilience with back-to-back high-scoring draws and an aggressive 3-4-3 shape that has found the net in both matches. The host's defensive solidity is likely to be tested by a full-strength Celje side that thrives in transitional play, setting up a contest where both sides could get on the scoresheet. With the Armenian side likely to be less cohesive and Celje's attacking confidence growing, a score draw appears the most logical outcome.
Ararat-Armenia have a perfect home record in this competition so far, and even with key absences, they have enough support and structure to avoid defeat against a Celje side that has yet to win. The two-way call covers both a home win and the probable draw.
Ararat-Armenia's two home ties both finished 2-0, and with their lineup disrupted they may struggle to create the same attacking volume. Celje's only away match produced six goals, but the hosts are more conservative and should limit the scoreline to a tighter affair.
