Ararat-Armenia and Univ. Craiova meet again just seven days after a 1-1 draw in Romania. The Armenians are unbeaten in three but have drawn two of their last five and kept only one clean sheet in that run. Craiova arrive with zero clean sheets in five outings, yet they have scored in four of those five and carry genuine firepower from a 3-1 Liga I win on Aug 23. Pavlo Isenko is absent for the visitors, the only injury note in the data.
The key numbers point toward a Craiova advantage. The market prices them at 2.10-2.12 to win outright and 1.53-1.55 on Draw No Bet. Ararat's home DNB sits at 2.38-2.40. With the first leg level, Craiova need only avoid defeat over 90 minutes to stay in control of the tie on away goals or force extra time in their favour.
Craiova DNB at 1.55 is the play. They are the more consistent scorers across five recent games and carry a slight structural edge as the side that does not need to chase. If the match ends level again, the bet is returned. Confidence is modest given the narrow margins in this tie.
