Our Tips

The upcoming clash between Armenia and North Macedonia promises to be an intense affair, with high stakes on the line in UEFA Nations League Group C4. Armenia find themselves in a precarious position, sitting just behind their Macedonian counterparts. After a dramatic 2-2 draw against the Faroe Islands, Armenia will be hoping for a home advantage to break North Macedonia’s recent dominance over them. Meanwhile, North Macedonia, fresh off a comfortable win against Latvia, are aiming to solidify their position at the top of the group. With both sides fighting for promotion, Sunday’s match could very well turn into a thrilling, unpredictable contest.

Best Bet: North Macedonia to Win and Both Teams to Score

Backing North Macedonia to win with both teams finding the back of the net seems to be the most logical bet heading into this game. While Armenia are no pushovers, particularly at home, North Macedonia have repeatedly shown their superiority in recent meetings, including a 2-0 win in the reverse fixture.

One of the reasons to favour North Macedonia is their recent form, particularly their defensive stability. They’ve only conceded one goal in their three Nations League matches so far, which gives them the confidence to travel to Armenia with a solid backline. The return of Gjoko Zajkov from suspension strengthens their defensive unit, with seasoned defender Ezgjan Alioski adding more experience and structure. But make no mistake, despite their strong defensive stats, North Macedonia aren’t invulnerable. Armenia, especially at home, have the attacking talent to break through, with Lucas Zelarayan and Grant-Leon Ramos leading the charge.

Armenia, on the other hand, have struggled defensively, having conceded five goals in three matches. They’ve shown an ability to score, with an average of two goals per game in the Nations League so far, but the defensive errors keep piling up. This could be their undoing once again, as North Macedonia have a knack for punishing defensive lapses. Key figures like Enis Bardhi and Bojan Miovski have been in fine form for the visitors, with Bardhi already netting twice in the tournament. His ability to control the midfield and exploit spaces could be crucial.

Given that Armenia have scored in every game they’ve played in the Nations League so far, it’s reasonable to expect them to find the net at home. However, their defensive frailties, coupled with North Macedonia’s clinical finishing, suggest that the visitors will come out on top. BettingTips4You.com’s expert Steve Harrington perfectly sums up the prediction, stating:

“North Macedonia’s balance between a strong defence and a potent attack makes them tough to beat. Armenia might score, but the Lions are likely to edge this one.”

With both teams showing a propensity to score, and North Macedonia’s superior form, this best bet offers solid value for those looking to back the away side but also acknowledging Armenia’s threat in attack.

Correct Score Prediction: Armenia 1-2 North Macedonia

Looking at the form of both teams, a 2-1 victory for North Macedonia feels like the most plausible outcome. The rationale behind this scoreline aligns with the best bet prediction – North Macedonia should have enough firepower to secure the win, but Armenia will likely put up a fight and find the back of the net.

Armenia’s recent games have been packed with goals, and the 2-2 draw against the Faroe Islands showcased both their attacking strength and defensive weaknesses. With Zelarayan and Ramos creating chances, the home side are more than capable of scoring. However, their lack of defensive solidity, as evidenced by their inability to keep a clean sheet in this competition, suggests they won’t be able to hold off North Macedonia for the full 90 minutes.

North Macedonia have been more controlled, with their 3-0 win over Latvia highlighting their ability to manage games and pounce on the opposition’s mistakes. Eljif Elmas and Enis Bardhi have been the driving forces behind their attacking play, and their ability to control the tempo of the match should see them grab a couple of goals. That said, Armenia’s strong home form suggests they won’t go down without a fight, hence the expectation of a closely contested 2-1 scoreline.
