Our prediction for this Nations League match:
Following a 2-2 draw with Faroe Islands, Armenia will look to return to winning ways in Group 4 when they take on North Macedonia on Sunday. The Armenians are eager to retain their spot in top two and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-oriented strategy against North Macedonia. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Universitatea Cluj forward Artur Miranyan should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Lions, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a 3-0 win over Latvia, which is probably the main reason why we predict that they are going to grab something from Sunday’s clash. A close encounter is on the cards in Yerevan and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Visar Musliu should miss out with injury, while Gjoko Zajkov is back from suspension, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Armenia):
Armenia footballers played for Soviet Union national football team until 1991, when the country declared independence. The Football Federation of Armenia was founded the following year and they quickly established relations with both FIFA (1992) and UEFA (1993).
Despite the fact that Manchester United ace Henrikh Mkhitaryan plays for the Armenia national football team, the Havakakan have yet to qualify for the finals of a major tournament. Mkhitaryan is undisputedly the team’s most famous footballer, but we should mention former Ajax striker Edgar Manucharyan as well, who is in the twighlight of his career. Armenia played their first international game against Moldova in October, 1992 and it has to be noted that they played out a goalless draw with the former Soviet republic.
The Armenians have slim chances of qualifying for the FIFA World cup 2018 finals, but they did well to beat Montenegro in the process. Armenia footballers wear red shirts and red shorts when playing at home ground (Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium), while the colour of their away kits is white.
