Noah performed quite well in the UEFA Conference League group stage, although reaching the knockout stages is already a huge achievement for an Armenian club, even in a less significant competition. Noah has felt confident at home, where he has consistently scored goals, but the club's defense is still unable to cope with the onslaught of bigger European teams.
AZ has extensive European experience; despite the total dominance of Ajax and PSV in the Eredivi, the team always manages to fight for a top-four spot. The team is in a competitive rhythm: four of their last five games have seen over 2.5 goals, and the "cheesemakers" themselves have consistently scored (except for the match against Telstar, where they managed to keep a clean sheet). The Dutch team concedes in almost every match, but their attack compensates for these shortcomings – even against Ajax, they managed to avoid defeat.
In the match in Armenia, the visitors are likely to control the ball and create chances. Home conditions will help Noah to be more assertive, but defensive problems will likely lead to goals.
