Armenia vs Cyprus prediction
Cyprus head into this game in form, having recorded back-to-back wins in Group C2. That run has pulled them three points clear of Armenia, who they beat in Nicosia last month. However, the Armenians have been stronger on home soil. They overcame Latvia 2-0 before falling narrowly to a strong Montenegro side by three goals to two.
With home advantage on their side, Armenia need to go for this one, knowing the importance of matching Cyprus’s seven points heading into the final round of fixtures. Therefore, it would be no surprise to see them push multiple bodies forward whenever possible.
While this may sharpen their attacking edge, it also opens the door for Cyprus offensively, with more space likely to be available inside the opposition half. With that in mind, consider backing both teams to score in this one.
