Alwyn Tera and Edgar Grigoryan also made their first starts of this run that day, as the side continued to make changes.

Right-back has alternated between Bruno Wilson and Bruno Pereira in the last four matches, while Sandro Lima and Artur Serobyan have each started three times further forward. Zidane Banjaqui has contributed one goal during that period ahead of the visit of AZ.

AZ

Denso Kasius is back in contention after recovering from injury and appearing as a substitute in AZ's 2-1 win over Hapoel Beer Sheva on 15 October. AZ are expected to rotate during this busy run of fixtures, so changes are possible at Ararat-Armenia.

Peer Koopmeiners and Jari De Busser have started all five matches in this run. In central midfield, Jordy Clasie and Dave Kwakman have shared playing time, while Ayoub Oufkir and Calvin Stengs have both started on the right wing. Kees Smit, Jizz Hornkamp and Stije Resink remain out through injury.
