Celje welcome Ararat-Armenia to the UEFA Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round on Tuesday 11 August, kick-off at 18:15 UTC. The first leg, played on 4 August 2026, ended with Ararat-Armenia winning 2-1, and that result shapes the context of Tuesday's match.

Celje have taken 5 points from their last 5 matches. Their recent results are: a loss to Ararat-Armenia, two draws with Egnatia Rrogozhinë, a win against AEK Athens FC, and a loss to AEK Athens FC.

Ararat-Armenia arrive with 9 points from their last 5 matches. Their recent results are: the win over Celje, a loss to Shamrock Rovers, a win over Shamrock Rovers, a loss to Riga, and a win over Riga.

The head-to-head record between these two sides stands at one match: Ararat-Armenia 2-1 Celje, played on 4 August 2026. That is the only directly relevant precedent available ahead of Tuesday's meeting.

In terms of recent form, Ararat-Armenia's 9 points from 5 matches stands above Celje's 5 points from the same number of matches. The visitors arrive at this second meeting with both the first-leg result and the stronger form record in their favour.
