Italy vs Armenia Prediction & Betting tips
The match between Italy and Armenia has become a glorified practice game. The Italians have not yet spilled a single point and for the Armenians the second place is out of reach. Can a nice bet still be found?
Italy:
Italy has long been guaranteed a place in the European Championship. It won all nine games and has a lead of nine points on number two in Finland and no less than sixteen points on number three in Greece. Coach Roberto Mancini indicated last week that he would use the last two games against Bosnia and Armenia to see three talents at work. In Bosnia, the first of the three debuted. The 22-year-old Gaetano Castrovilli of Fiorentina was allowed to stand in for Lorenzo Insigne five minutes before the end, at which point the win was already wide and wide. After 21 minutes of play, Lazio defender Francesco Acerbi made the opening goal with a placed shot. Lorenzo Insigne closed the game before half time, after a good action by Andrea Belotti, he pushed the ball into the far corner. At the start of the second half, Torino’s top scorer himself made it 0-3, his fourth goal of this qualifying round. This was also the somewhat flattering final score, because Bosnia indeed had good chances and as many shots as the Italians.
Armenia:
The national team of Armenia played its first international match in 1992. Since 1996 it has also participated in every European Championship or World Cup qualification, but the final round has never been reached. This year, too, the Armenians left too many stitches to reach a final round. For example, the first two qualifying matches were lost to Bosnia and Finland and even a draw was made last month in Liechtenstein. As a result, there was only a small possibility of achieving second place and thus the first ever qualification, for this the team of Gyulbudaghyants had to beat Greece and Italy and hope that Finland could not win twice. This first assignment was not yet completed last Friday. At home, Greece lost 0-1, the Greeks had almost all good chances in this match and got what they deserved.
Armenia will not get a second chance at qualifying as it was also unsuccessful in the lowest pot of the Nations League. In a group with Northern Macedonia, Gibraltar and Liechtenstein, it was ultimately five points short of the North Macedonians. On the basis of star player Mkhitaryan from AS Roma, Northern Macedonia won 4-0 in his own house, precious points were spilled against the smaller countries in particular. The dwarf state of Gibraltar, for example, achieved its greatest success ever by winning in Armenia (0-1) and, as in this European Championship qualifying round, a draw was made against Liechtenstein.
