Europa League tonight, Jagiellonia Białystok host Ararat-Armenia. The two teams have never met in this competition before, so there is no history to lean on. What is different from the previous match is that Jagiellonia return to play at home after going out and losing in the cup, while Ararat-Armenia have to travel a long way from the Armenian league. Jagiellonia have just lost 1-3 in the league, and before that they also lost 1-2 in the cup. The defence is clearly a problem, because in their own league they have conceded 16 goals from 9 matches. As for Ararat-Armenia, their league form is clearly better, winning 6 of 9 matches and scoring 18 goals, but their recent European trip was a 1-4 defeat, which says that when they meet a team that can press continuously, they struggle to hold their defensive shape. Jagiellonia are likely to have more of the ball and gradually open up the game from their own half, with Ararat-Armenia dropping back to wait for counter-attacking moments. This kind of game usually does not open up into an end-to-end exchange from the start, and if the hosts control the tempo as they should, the number of goals in the match is likely to be limited to a certain level and not run away.
