Team Form and Analysis:
Armenia enters this match in a difficult run of form, having lost three of their last four matches. They have struggled defensively, conceding six goals in a recent defeat to Georgia, and will be looking to put on a much-improved performance in front of their home crowd. With a new coach at the helm, Armenia will be hoping to put their poor form behind them and secure a historic result.
Portugal, meanwhile, has been in excellent form, winning the UEFA Nations League in June after a penalty shootout victory over Spain. The Portuguese side, led by Roberto Martínez, is packed with star power, including veteran Cristiano Ronaldo. They will be looking to start their qualifying campaign with a dominant victory to put themselves in a strong position in the group.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two nations is heavily in favor of Portugal, who have won four of the six previous meetings, with two ending in draws. The last time the two sides met at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in a Euro 2016 qualifier, Portugal secured a narrow 3-2 victory thanks to a hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Player to Watch:
- Armenia: All eyes will be on their captain, Eduard Spertsyan. The attacking midfielder has been in great form for his club and country, scoring three of Armenia’s four goals in their recent friendly matches. His creativity and goal-scoring ability will be a key threat to the Portugal defense.
- Portugal: The focus for Portugal will be on their captain, Cristiano Ronaldo. The 40-year-old is the all-time leading goal scorer in men’s international football and has a remarkable record against Armenia, with five goals in four games, including a hat-trick in the last meeting between the two sides.
Prediction:
Given Portugal’s superior squad depth, excellent recent form, and their dominant head-to-head record against Armenia, they are the overwhelming favorites to win this match. While Armenia will be motivated to secure a historic result, Portugal’s attacking firepower is likely to be too much for them to handle. A comfortable away victory for Portugal seems like a very likely outcome.
