Feel Luxembourg would be easier, and cheaper, to get to than Armenia aswell Zalgiris or Malmo would hopefully see off Pyunik. I'm rather surprised Pyunik beat CFR Cluj in the previous round.

Waterboy Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 First 3 games complete, only a goal in it in each tie. Could argue 2 of the 3 have gone the wrong way for us, but only at the half way stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
