North Macedonia vs Armenia Prediction and Betting Tips | September 10th 2024
North Macedonia will face Armenia at the Toše Proeski Arena on Tuesday in another round of their 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign. The home team have endured a grossly underwhelming run of results in recent games and missed out on the chance to open their continental campaign with a win on Saturday.
They faced the Faroe Islands at Tórsvøllur in their tournament opener and played out a 1-1 draw, finding themselves a goal down after just nine minutes before team captain Enis Bardhi leveled the scores from the spot minutes after the restart.
Meanwhile, Armenia traded tackles with Latvia in their Nations League opener on Saturday, picking up a 4-1 win with Vahan Bichakhchyan opening the scoring six minutes after kick-off before Lucas Zelarayan and Krasnodar's Eduard Spertsyan joined the winger on the scoresheet in the second half.
The visitors now sit atop Group 4 with three points from a potential three. They are two points above their midweek opponents and will be looking to widen that gap come Tuesday.
