Our Prediction for Armenia vs Portugal
Last autumn, Armenia collected only seven points in the Nations League. Still, they managed to surpass the Faroe Islands in their group and finished second. However, in March, their neighbors, Georgia, handed them two heavy defeats—0-3 and 1-6. Moreover, in June, they also suffered a big loss in Kosovo, 2-5. Only against Montenegro did they manage a 2-2 draw, with Spertsyan scoring twice.
Roberto Martinez and his players reached the quarterfinals in the Euros, where they lost to France only in a penalty shootout. Crucially, they later won the Nations League again, topping their group, defeating Denmark in March, beating Germany, and in the final, after a 2-2 draw with Spain, succeeded in the penalty shootout.
The home side averaged 1.3 goals per match but conceded almost twice as many—2.5. Ronaldo and company, on the other hand, scored an average of 2.2 goals and conceded 1.1 in response.
