10 matches and only one victory for Armenia, which came against Latvia. This alone does not bode well for the team, which suffered a heavy defeat at home to Portugal with a score of 0:5 in the start of the qualifiers on Saturday. This was yet another match in which they conceded many goals. They have conceded a total of 21 goals in their last five matches, and at the same time, they have four consecutive home losses without scoring a goal.
Ireland shows signs of stabilization and is currently on a five-match unbeaten streak, with three consecutive draws at the moment. On Saturday, they managed a heroic 2:2 draw at home against Hungary after being down 0:2, equalizing against a rival that was left with 10 players in added time. Now they come as favorites to Armenia, where they lost 0:1 three years ago.
Prediction: victory for IrelandThe state of Armenia does not look good at all with the many goals conceded and losses lately. Ireland, on the other hand, shows signs of revival, and I would choose a victory for the visitors here, but I don't believe it will come easily.
