Armenia hosts the Nations League champions Portugal in a first match for both teams in the World Cup qualifiers. Keep up with us because we will preview this fixture for you in our usual High odds soccer wager predictions for underdogs.

The Armenians are perfectly aware that their team is a huge underdog against the mighty Iberians. The Havakakan are hoping for the best in this group, but the truth is every point won would be a massive success for them.

At the same time Portugal could have just one goal here – to win the group, just as everyone expects of them. Lately Selecao won the Nations League for a second time, but the team was rocked by the tragic death of the striker Diogo Jota. Let’s see how they will recover from the shock.

Armenia News & Analysis

Armenia’s head coach Yegishe Melikyan admitted to the press that his team is not a favourite to win against Portugal. Still, they will try to use the home advantage in Yerevan and offer a good fight to the Portuguese team. Many fans are expected on the stands so it’d be curious to see how Armenia will do here.

Most of Armenia’s players are playing the domestic league, but there are some who play in other countries as well. For example – Nair Tiknizyan is playing as a defender for Red Star Belgrade while Eduard Spertsyan defends the colours of Krasnodar in the Russian league. But the player who plays at the highest level is Grant-Leon Ranos – a striker who has a contract with Borussia M’gladbach in the Bundesliga. So far Ranos has four goals in 17 appearances for the Armenian national team.

Portugal News & Analysis

After beating Spain in the Nations League final, Portugal are approaching their next goal – qualifying for the World Cup. This Portuguese side have a lot of potential as there’s a fine mix between young and experienced players.

The manager Roberto Martinez once again called the 40-years old captain Cristiano Ronaldo for the upcoming matches against Armenia and Hungary. The Al-Nassr striker will be accompanied by his teammate in the Saudi league Joao Felix while players like Pedro Neto and Francisco Conceicao are adding some firepower to the attack.

But Portugal’s biggest strength at the moment is their midfield. Players like Vitinha and Joao Neves are in a spectacular form while Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva are bringing valuable experience. And don’t forget Nuno Mendes – the player who was the star of the Nations League final against Spain.
