Pyunik host Ordabasy at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yerevan on Thursday for the second leg of their clash in the Europa Conference League third qualifying round. The Armenian outfit is looking to get the job done here after securing a narrow win in the first leg.
Aiming for their second appearance in the Conference League finals, Pyunik picked up a 1-0 victory in Kazakhstan last week, courtesy of a 56th-minute strike from Yusuf Otubanjo. Now, a draw is enough for them to reach the playoffs, and another step closer to a major European club tournament.
On the other hand, Ordabasy are facing the continuation of a 27-year-long wait for a second appearance in a European club tournament. That is unless they turn around their deficit and win by a two-goal margin.
