Ruzomberok suffered a 3-0 drubbing at Abovyan City Stadium in the first leg, which more or less looked like a training session for Noah. Gonçalo Gregório put the Slovakian side ahead early in the fourth minute while Gor Manvelyan and Matheus Aiás added one each to seal their comfortable win in style.

Ruža now have a three-goal deficit to overturn at home, where they have won just once in their last five matches in all competitions. They are appearing in the Conference League playoff round for the first time and would need a miracle to sail through, considering their form. Ruzomberok sit sixth in the Slovak top flight.

Noah have the wind on their back as they head to Ruzomberok for this clash. Head coach Rui Mota describes his side as a “highly disciplined team”, which actually showed in their performance in the first leg. The Armenian team made few mistakes and most importantly avoided conceding against Ruzomberok.

The visitors are expected to stick to their playbook at Abovyan City Stadium in an effort to safeguard their lead. Noah began in the first qualifying round and gradually made their way to the third, where they recorded their first defeat in this campaign. They lost to AEK Athens but overturned the deficit in the second leg to reach the playoffs.
