Noah from Armenia have been making serious waves across Europe in recent seasons and the boys know how to hold their own against big names. They already reached the Conference League group stage and even stepped onto Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea which is no small achievement for any side. Now they are looking to clear three qualifying rounds and the first test comes against Zimbru from Moldova who are still finding their feet at this level.
Team Form
- Noah ended last season with a strong run of nineteen games without defeat showing real consistency in attack where they netted sixty one goals in twenty seven league matches.
- Zimbru have played four league games already winning just one of them by three goals to nil against Balti but they lack the same European pedigree.
- Noah finished second in their domestic league four points behind Ararat Armenia yet their attacking numbers remain the best in the country.
Tactical Analysis
The Armenians bring plenty of know how from multiple Conference League campaigns including a playoff appearance last term. Their forward line stays sharp and they love to press high which could trouble Zimbru defenders who are still settling into the new season. The Moldovans will try to use their current match fitness to stay compact but they will struggle once Noah settle into rhythm on the night.
Expect Noah to control the ball and create chances through quick transitions while Zimbru sit deeper and wait for openings that may never come. The visitors have the quality to break down a side that has not faced this kind of European pressure before.
Betting Proposal
After weighing every angle my types lean strongly towards the away side getting the job done in Moldova. Noah have too much experience and firepower for Zimbru to handle over ninety minutes.
Noah win away at 1.70 looks the value play for this tie.
