Alashkert are set to host Scottish side Rangers on Thursday in the return leg of the fourth round of the Europa League qualifiers.
Alashkert began their campaign playing in the Champions League qualifiers. They defeated Connah's Quay Nomads in the first round before falling to a 4-1 aggregate defeat to Sheriff Tiraspol.
Alashkert's exit from the Champions League qualifiers saw them join the qualifiers for the Europa League.
They were drawn against Kairan Almighty in the third round and defeated the Kazakhstan club 3-2 over two legs. Alashkert now have to defeat the Scottish champions to advance.
Like their hosts, Rangers also participated in the Champions League qualifiers. Rangers, however, lost to Malmo in both legs of the tie, hence their participation in the Europa League qualifiers.
Rangers won 1-0 against Alashkert in the first leg of their qualifiers and will just need a draw to confirm their progress in the competition.

Alashkert vs Rangers Prediction
Alashkert won the Armenian Premier League last season. However, they have not hit the same levels so far this campaign. Alashkert have won just one of their last eight games in all competitions.
Rangers were also champions of their domestic league. Steven Gerrard's side went on a three-game losing run right after the current campaign began. However, Rangers have shaken that poor form and are on a run of three straight wins.
It should extend to four against Alashkert.
Prediction: Alashkert 1-2 Rangers
