Univ. Craiova vs Ararat-ArmeniaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Ion Oblemenco stages a tie with no shared past: Universitatea Craiova and Ararat-Armenia have never faced one another. The Romanian side opened its domestic season with a 1-1 at Oţelul, after edging KuPS 2-1 at home on the back of a 1-1 in Finland; the 4-0 handed to Petrolul Ploiesti is the heaviest scoreline of their August, and the one blemish is a 0-1 home loss to Arges Pitesti. The Armenians are moving at pace: 2-0 against Van, 2-1 over Urartu, 2-1 against Celje in front of their own crowd and a 4-3 away success at Gandzasar that says plenty about how long their evenings stay alive. Their only recent stumble came in Slovenia, a 0-2 reverse against those same opponents. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
