Armenia, currently in second place with four points, is eager to avenge their 2-0 loss to North Macedonia in Skopje last month. Coach Alexander Petrakov’s team has had a mixed performance so far, with a strong home win against Latvia (4-1), a disappointing loss to North Macedonia, and a hard-fought draw against the Faroe Islands (2-2). Lucas Zelarayan is Armenia’s top scorer with two goals, and players like Nair Tiknizyan and Eduard Spertsyan are key to their strategy. However, Eduard Spertsyan will miss this match due to injury.
North Macedonia leads the group with seven points, having secured victories over Armenia (2-0) and Latvia (3-0), along with a draw against the Faroe Islands (1-1). They are known for their pragmatic style, focusing on solid defense and effective counterattacks. Enis Bardi and Bojan Miovski are crucial players for North Macedonia, with Bardi being the top scorer with two goals.
The head-to-head statistics favor North Macedonia, with seven wins out of the last 14 meetings between the two teams. Armenia has won four matches, and there have been three draws. In their recent encounters, North Macedonia has been dominant, winning four of the last six matches.
Bookmakers slightly favor Armenia to win this match, with odds of 2.4 for an Armenian victory and 3.2 for North Macedonia. The match is expected to be intense, with predictions suggesting that both teams could score, given Armenia’s history of allowing goals in recent matches.
