Armenia come into this game on the back of a 3-0 loss to Oleksandr Petrakov's Ukraine recently. Second-half goals from Atalanta midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi, Dynamo Kyiv right-back Oleksandr Karavayev and Everton left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko secured the win for Ukraine.

Scotland, on the other hand, lost 3-0 to Stephen Kenny's Republic of Ireland recently. Goals from Preston North End midfielder Alan Browne, Tottenham Hotspur forward Troy Parrott and Swansea City striker Michael Obafemi sealed the deal for their country.

Armenia vs Scotland Prediction

Armenia's overall quality has certainly diminished following the retirement of Roma star Henrikh Mkhitaryan. In his absence, the likes of Sargis Adamyan and Vahan Bichakhchyan will have to step up.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan finishes his international career as Armenia's all time top goalscorer (32) and their second highest appearance maker (95).

He was just five caps away from his century. 🇦🇲 twitter.com/SquawkaNews/st…

Scotland, on the other hand, will hope to get a positive result after some extremely disappointing performances recently.

We expect Scotland to win.

Prediction: Armenia 0-1 Scotland
