Ararat vs Alashkert - Premier League

The Premier League returns to the home ground on April 11, 2026, where Ararat and Alashkert will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Tottenham face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

Both Ararat and Alashkert will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Premier League. The hosts have mirrored the form of a side still searching for rhythm — WW over their last five, a win rate of 37.5%. The visitors have been a steady presence on the road, DDLWD in their last five and a campaign win rate of 50%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Ararat average 0.75 per game to Alashkert's 2.25, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Tim Sherwood makes his predictions for the new Premier League season, including who he thinks will make the top four in the table.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Ararat will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Alashkert will back themselves to cause problems on the break. Moving the Dane on frees up space and gives the Partenopei greater room to press ahead with their incoming transfer plans.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. Wrexham secured a smash-and-grab 2-1 victory against wasteful Southampton courtesy of Keven Schlotterbeck's late own goal.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. With the sides so closely matched, a 2-2 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
