Celje set up in a 3-4-3 against Ararat-Armenia's 4-3-3, a contest of width and pressing intensity as the Slovenians look to protect their aggregate advantage on home soil.<\/p><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">The three-at-the-back structure gives Celje defensive compactness while allowing their wide players to push forward, whereas <strong>M.
