Number of the match3 ptsThat is how many points Jagiellonia have dropped from winning positions, the most in the league, though they have also won 4 points from losing positions, again the most.
Both teams without points
In the Europa League table Jagiellonia Białystok are 21st and Ararat-Armenia 33rd. Both sides have 0 points from one game played. The gap in position is clear, but in points both teams start from the same place. In matchday 2 they meet for the first time in history, as they have not played each other before.
The hosts' losing run
Jagiellonia have lost their last four games in all competitions, including two home league games: against Legia and Górnik Zabrze. In their last match, in round 10 of the Ekstraklasa, they lost 1–3 to Górnik. The only goal for the hosts was scored by Jesús Imaz. Despite this run, the Białystok side are scoring: a goal in each of their last three games is their current streak. Both teams scored in 8 of the last 10 games.
Ararat-Armenia score too
The visitors also have a scoring run behind them: they scored in three games in a row. In the domestic league Ararat-Armenia drew 1–1 with Alashkert in round 9, and Artur Serobyan scored in the 27th minute. It has been 29 days since the visitors' previous Europa League game. Jagiellonia return to the pitch 5 days after their Ekstraklasa game.
Imaz and the goal profile
Jagiellonia's top league scorer is Jesús Imaz, who has scored 2 goals in 5 games and added 1 assist. Only 1 of the 10 goals the team have scored this season came after the 75th minute. At the same time, Jagiellonia have 4 points won from losing positions, the most in the league, and points dropped from winning positions are precisely the catch of this season.
European home games
In their last 15 European home games Jagiellonia lost only two and won 10. However, they finished their last two home games on the losing side. The opponents from Armenia have no head-to-head history with Jagiellonia that could be set against these results.
Squad and the coach's words
Nik Prelec was injured in the game against Górnik Zabrze and is set to be out for several weeks. Coach Adrian Siemieniec announced a return to basics and fewer goals conceded. Before Thursday's game he said: "We must return to the foundation, start with simple things that will allow us to build confidence." Jagiellonia play at home on Thursday as the 21st team in the table.
