Elimay vs Alashkert Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Semipalatinsk almost disappeared at the beginning of the decade. However, in 2023, it regained its professional status and has been competing in the Premier League since the year before last. In the previous season, they finished fourth. They are now trying to repeat that result, although the competition is very tight. Even after beating Kyzyl-Zhar twice, they are only in fifth position.
The team from Yerevan has repeatedly been the champion of their country. But recently, they have stepped back from leading roles. Last season, like their opponent, they finished in fourth place. This summer, they managed to play one friendly match, where they lost to Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-0.
In Armenia, the visitors took the lead in the middle of the second half. But they failed to hold on to this advantage—Nalbaldyan equalized to 1-1 before the final whistle.
