Armenia vs North Macedonia Prediction & Betting tips
From Iceland to Bosnia to Turkey, some nations will certainly take part in the upcoming UEFA Nations League in League B. Attractive and strong opponents are therefore pre-programmed, which should be a special incentive for Armenia and North Macedonia. The winner of this game will eventually rise to the group winners of season C2.
The North Macedonians have the advantage that the draw is enough for them to defend first place. Nevertheless, in the run-up to the encounter between Armenia and North Macedonia, the odds according to the betting base odds comparison are slightly in the direction of the Armenians.
It can be stated, however, that no team enjoys a home advantage in this match. Because of the military conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, all Nations League games have finally been moved to neutral venues. So today’s match will take place in Nicosia in Cyprus.
The fact that the point for the group victory is enough for the North Macedonians enables them to tackle the game with a focus on the defensive.
Armenia :
The Armenian national soccer team has been competing as an independent national team in FIFA and UEFA competitions since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The alleged football dwarf, who is currently 101st in the FIFA world rankings, has never qualified for a major tournament.
In the current EM qualification in 2021, it was enough for the Havaqakan (in German: the team) for three wins from ten games. This meant that “only” eight points were missing from Finland, which took part in the European Championship.
Among other things, the Armenians celebrated a remarkable 4-2 home win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, with which they were able to build on the success of the first edition of the UEFA Nations League, when ten of 18 possible points were scored.
Second in the group behind today’s opponent North Macedonia, the Havaqakan made it out of group D4. Regardless of whether the march through to League B with a three-point against the North Macedonian national soccer team succeeds or not, at least relegation was not a problem.
Finally, the Armenians’ comfortable lead on bottom-up Estonia is six points. In fact, only one of the five group games was lost. We are talking about the 1: 2 defeat on matchday one, which had to be accepted against today’s opponents North Macedonia of all places.
The Havaqakan still has a bill to settle on neutral ground in Cyprus, which the betting providers trust the men of Joaquín Caparrós even in the absence of superstar Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
North Macedonia:
The North Macedonian national soccer team is currently celebrating its absolute highlight in soccer. The nation, which was part of Yugoslavia until the beginning of the 1990s and has appeared as an independent national team since the qualifying games for the 1994 World Cup, has never before been able to buy a ticket for an EM or World Cup final.
Until last Thursday, when the playoffs of the Nations League path to EM 2021 were won with a 1-0 away win in Georgia. The Crveni Lavovi (in German: the red lions) now have qualifications for the European championship in their pockets via the back door of this competition, which was newly introduced in 2018.
There, North Macedonia will face the Netherlands, Austria and Ukraine in Group C next summer. In view of the latest successes, even third place, which could be enough for a place in the round of 16, by no means seems utopian.
In addition to this groundbreaking success, for which captain and record national player Goran Pandev was once again responsible with his golden goal, the Crveni Lavovi also managed the next coup in the Nations League. Although several players left after the Georgia game, North Macedonia also beat Estonia 2-1 on Sunday and defended first place in Group C2.
With the squad thinned once again, which required several subsequent nominations from coach Igor Angelovski, the draw in this away game in Cyprus against Armenia is enough to make the league D march straight through to league B in the Nations League.
In one fell swoop, the alleged football dwarf is making up more and more ground. In Armenia against North Macedonia, the tip on winning points in Nicosia is under a very good star. After all, the Crveni Lavovi have not lost in their current phase of strength in eight international matches (five wins, three draws).
