BKMA

BKMA's previous season's performance suggests that they faced a challenging campaign, finishing 9th in the table with 32 points and narrowly avoiding relegation to the second tier. This season, they are presented with a tough task as they face Urartu, a team with significant strength and depth.

This side have signed key players like Mikayel Mirzoyan, Volodya Samsonyan, David Arshakyan, Styopa Mkrtchyan, Norayr Nikoghosyan, Rafael Manasyan, and Tigran Sargsyan to see if they can make something out of this season.

For BKMA to compete against a formidable opponent like Urartu, they will need to rise to the challenge and display a strong team performance. It will be essential for them to utilize their new signings effectively and build a cohesive unit on the pitch.

Securing points against top teams like Urartu will be crucial for BKMA if they aim to achieve their objectives in the current campaign. They will need to demonstrate resilience, determination, and tactical acumen to overcome the hurdles that lie ahead.

Urartu

Urartu's achievement of winning the league last season, marking their first title since 2013/2014, is undoubtedly a significant milestone for the club. However, their hopes of progressing in the Champions League were dashed after a penalty shootout defeat to Zrinjski. Nevertheless, they have now entered the Conference League qualification phase but are facing an uphill battle following a 3-2 defeat in the first leg against Romanian side Farul Constanta.

Despite these setbacks in European competitions, Urartu's main focus will undoubtedly be on defending their domestic league title. As reigning champions, they will be determined to build on their success and continue their dominance in the league.

To achieve their goal of retaining the league title, Urartu will need to regroup, address any shortcomings, and maintain a strong squad with their new signings. The experience gained from their European ventures can serve as valuable lessons to improve their performance in both domestic and continental competitions.

Not only have they secured victories, but they have also displayed defensive strength by keeping a clean sheet in five of those matches, including the last three meetings between the two sides.
