Armenia vs Liechtenstein Predictions

Both of these countries have lost their opening two qualifiers in Group J and aren’t expected to challenge for the top two spots, but a win for either side could help build up some momentum and confidence, which could in turn lead to some surprise results in their favour. Armenia were narrowly beaten by both Bosnia and Finland in their opening tow matches, while Liechtenstein are yet to score after being beaten by Greece and then thrashed by Italy.

The stats from Armenia’s home game against Finland last time out suggest a draw would have been the fairest result, but an early first half goal from Jensen was followed up in the second forty-five by another from substitute Soiri as Finland pinched all three points at the Vazgen Sargsyan anvan Hanrapetakan Marzadasht, in Yerevan. Italy were already 3-0 up before Kaufmann was sent-off in first half stoppage time for Liechtenstein, and that foul resulted in Italy’s fourth goal from the penalty spot. The hosts added two more goals in the second half to claim a 6-0 win, and in truth it could have been a lot worse for the visitors had the Italians been more ruthless.

The head to head record between these two countries and their form and performances over the last six international matches, suggests that both teams will score on Saturday and that Armenia are best placed to win the game. Both teams have scored in the previous two meetings between these two countries, and Armenia have scored two goals in each of their two matches against Liechtenstein. Both teams have scored in three of Armenia’s last four and three of Liechtenstein’s last six matches. The hosts have won two of their last five international matches, while their guests have lost five of their last six, and that’s why we’re backing a 2-1 win for Armenia this weekend.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the key player for Armenia, providing creativity and goals from midfield and has netted twenty-seven times in eighty-two appearances for his country. The visitors lack a natural goalscorer, but captain and midfielder, Michele Polverino, has chipped in with six goals in his seventy-six caps. We’re confident that both teams will score on Saturday, and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 to Armenia. The hosts have never lost to Liechtenstein and have scored two goals against them in each of their previous two encounters. Liechtenstein are in a poor run of form, but did manage to score twice passed Armenia when the pair met back in November.
