Match Preview

Ireland

This is Ireland’s chance to get to the play-offs. Currently the team is second with 18 points, only a point ahead of Armenia who have 17. Ireland’s record at home is W2 D1 L1, losing only to Russia with the score of 2:3. A disappointing draw at home against Slovakia, took the team’s chances to finish first in the group, so they will have to satisfy with the second spot, if they manage to get at least a point from this match. Ireland won the first game in Yerevan, with the minimal 1:0. Despite having theoretical chances for the first spot, nobody expects Russia, to draw or lose against the last in the group Andorra (the team with 0 points and goal ratio of 1:19).

Armenia

Armenia is currently third with 17 points and will need the 3 points in this match to make it, to the play-offs. The team will be expected to get out with a very offensive formation. Armenia won the last 3 matches from the group, scoring a total of 11 goals in them and conceding just 1. The team’s away record reads W2 D1 L1, last loss to Russia with 1:3. Armenia is the team with the most scored goals in the group, 21 and with the best goal ratio of +13.

Prediction

Expect a double edge game, where Ireland will be satisfied even with the draw, while Armenia will have to come out and look for the goal and the victory from the very start.

The Irish team managed to get a victory in Yerevan in the opening game of this campaign, and I consider them too experienced to let this one slip away at the end. Consider backing Ireland to win at 4/6 with bet365.

Armenia has to score at least a goal this match if they want to win it. The team will be looking for everything or nothing in this match, as a loss with 0:1 or 0:4 would not make a difference at all. Consider backing Over 2.5 Goals as an end result at 11/10 with bet365, as Armenia will go for the victory here. Whether they success or not, I think we will witness a good amount of goals.
