Armenia vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Prediction & Betting tips
Second part of the European Championship qualification in September – on Sunday the first teams are in action for the second time during this international break. This is the case, for example, in group J. Top favorite Italy has not shown any nakedness and is after five games at the point maximum, followed by the surprisingly strong Finnish national team. Italy should be through, Finland has very good chances. On Sunday afternoon, there will be a duel between Armenia and Bosnia.
The starting position is relatively simple – with six and five points behind the Finns, both teams are under pressure to win. Only a complete success counts, so as not to lose sight of the top two places. Accordingly, the pressure on the shoulders of the actors and a certain amount of explosiveness can not be denied in this duel.
Armenia lost on Thursday at home despite Italy, Bosnia fulfilled the duty against football dwarf Liechtenstein finally sovereign and secured the three counters. The game starts in Yerevan at 14:00.
Armenia:
Thirty-one-year-old Aleksandr Karapetyan was the tragic hero on home team side head coach Armenia Gyulbudaghyants on Thursday night at home. After only eleven minutes, he brought Armenia surprisingly in the lead, seconds before the break whistle the game was over for him early. Due to his second yellow card, the underdog had to play the entire second half of the game in the minority.
At the time of the red card it was already 1: 1, but Armenia presented itself as a very unpleasant opponent. With the continuation of the game, the outnumber was noticeable and thanks to two conceding goals, Armenia had beaten 1: 3. Thus, after five qualifying games two victories and three defeats to book.
The chances of the first participation in a major football event are already relatively small anyway, with a point loss – or a defeat – against Bosnia, the underdog will have to put this opportunity finally shelved. For offensive players and goalscorer Karapetyan will probably move Sargis Adamyan into the team. Otherwise, changes are not necessarily expected.
The big star is of course New Italy Legionnaire Henrik Mkhitaryan. However, the captain has his best time behind him and could never really build on his BVB phase. Otherwise, Armenia presents itself as an absolute no-name team that, although passionate and strong in fighting, can not shun football deficits. In that regard, between Armenia and Bosnia, the quotas offered are definitely too low.
Bosnia:
If the team of Robert Prosinecki miss a top two place in Group J, the EM-train has not yet completely exhausted. Bosnia has this advantage compared to Armenia, because in the new UEFA Nations League – where Bosnia played in league B – Dzeko & Co secured the victory in the Austria Group. Thus, there is still the chance over the detour of the play-offs to qualify for the upcoming finals.
With this knowledge in hand, the pressure on the shoulders of the current number 42 in the FIFA World Ranking list is not that great. However, this does not change anything at the finish and as long as second place is possible, Bosnia will fight for it too. On Thursday night there was a befitting 5-0 win against Liechtenstein in the home game. A result that was almost too obvious, as four of the five goals were scored in the last ten minutes.
Although creative offensive player Miralem Pjanic and top striker Edin Dzeko are sure the attack will be stronger than the defensive, Prosinecki’s games are seldom offensive. Under the Croatian coach Prosinecki ended eleven of the previous 17 internationals with a successful tip to the sub 2.5. Between Armenia and Bosnia, odds of 1.87 are offered on Sunday afternoon for this forecast.
Away games have not necessarily been the strength of the Bosnians in recent months. The 2-1 defeat in June in Italy was already the fifth away game in succession without a win. After all, the goal barrier could be broken. After four games abroad without his own goal Edin Dzeko succeeded after all again a goal. With Turkey, Austria, Spain and Italy, however, there were four opponents who are definitely stronger than Armenia. The fifth duel was the quite surprising defeat in Finland.
