Alashkert host LASK at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yeveran on Tuesday in the UEFA Europa Conference League, searching for their first point of the campaign.
The Armenian outfit have lost both their games heavily so far. They were routed 4-1 by Maccabi Tel Aviv in their opening game before a 4-2 loss at the hands of HJK.
With a poor goal difference and not a single point accumulated, the Yellows are rock-bottom in Group A.
Although not mathematically out of the race for a place in the knockout stages, another setback this week would surely be a mortal blow to their chances.
LASK, meanwhile, are sitting pretty in second place with four points in two games.
Die Laskler started their campaign with a 2-0 defeat of Finnish side HJK in Helsinki, before being held to a 1-1 draw at home by Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Eden Shamir scored in the 88th minute for the visitors to force a share of the spoils. Had it not been for that last-minute goal, LASK could've been on two wins from two right now.
