Jagiellonia vs Ararat-Armenia Prediction & Tips | Europa League - League phase | FootballTips.app

Jagiellonia Białystok and FC Ararat-Armenia meet at the Chorten Arena with both sides still searching for their first points of the Europa League league phase. Jagiellonia opened with a 2-1 defeat away to Olympiacos, while Ararat-Armenia were beaten 4-1 at home by Sparta Prague.

The Polish side arrive in poor form, having lost four consecutive matches in all competitions. Their latest setback was a 3-1 home defeat to Górnik Zabrze, where they controlled 56% possession but were repeatedly exposed in transition after the interval.

Jagiellonia’s European opener told a similar story. They managed only four shots against Olympiacos, the fewest of any team on matchday one, while facing 26 at the other end. Kajetan Szmyt did at least get on the scoresheet and remains one of their main attacking outlets.

Ararat-Armenia have been more competitive recently, drawing 1-1 with Alashkert in their latest domestic outing and losing only two of their last six matches in all competitions. Their attacking threat has also been more consistent, with goals in each of their last 10 games.

They were still heavily tested on matchday one, however, facing 23 shots in the defeat to Sparta Prague. Artur Serobyan stood out despite the result, leading the team for chances created, dribbles, duels won and tackles.

Neither side has shown much defensive security, which should make this a more open contest than their positions suggest. Jagiellonia’s home advantage gives them a slight edge, but Ararat-Armenia’s better recent form means this is far from straightforward.
