Armenia take on the visitors Ireland in the round 2 match of League B in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Saturday, June 4th at Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium (Yerevan).
Armenia fails to fulfill its potential. "Highlanders" are good in the framework of the League of Nations. They started in 2018 in the D division, and then in general their success was not surprising. But in the next draw there was already a sensation when a rookie of this level scored 11 points and outstripped not only Georgia and Estonia, but also North Macedonia. This was the first success in the new position of an experienced mentor, Joaquin Caparros. But at the qualification level for the world championship there was another, rather mediocre result: 3 wins and draws in 10 fights, and 4th place out of 6. Well, now the Armenians will already play without their main star, Mkhitaryan - Henrikh decided to end international carrier. There will be no other veterans, Karapetyan, Ghazaryan and Kalishir.

Ireland look to continue their pleasant unbeaten streak. Last time Eire traveled to the final tournaments in 2016 to EURO. After that, there was no way to repeat something like that. For example, in qualifying for the World Cup, the team scored only 9 points, and only by additional indicators managed to get ahead of Luxembourg. But all the same, Stephen Kenny's wards became only 3rd, having lost any chances to go to Qatar. Now it seems that a new cycle is beginning, but the clip has changed very little. Some experienced players have not been called up, including Tottenham's Doherty, Brighton's Connolly and Southampton's Long. At the same time, there are only 2 potential debutants in the serious list of invitees, both of which are forwards, 27-year-old Hamilton from Blackpool and young Ebosele, who is now listed in Udinese.
The parties intersected as part of the selection for Euro 2012. Then Ireland was minimal, but stronger in both meetings: 1-0 away, 2-1 at home. Experts do not believe in good results for Armenia without Mkhitaryan. But the Caucasians will definitely not want to concede at home, and Ireland on the road will not ask for trouble. We suggest to pick the option with "under 2.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
