Armenia vs Germany Match Analysis and Prediction

4 years ago 768

Germany are travelling to Armenia prepared to beat the oponents in an effort to want to maintain a near flawless World Cup 2022 qualifying campaign in perfect fashion.

Hansi Flick’s side are enjoying a top spot in Group J, while Armenia very little chance to claim the second spot and a way into the playoffs.

Though it is still possible mathematically for Armenia to make it to the second spot, they need nothing less than a miracle to go through Romania or North Macedonia to the playoff in Group J.

The hosts are in the forth position in their group, two points behind Romania and three behind North Macedonia with one game at hand. Even if results in the weekend game favours them, their inerior goal difference will most likely make them come up short.

Joaquin Caparros’ side have really failed to keep their momentum going as they are now without a win in their last six qualifying clashes, despite having made a remarkable start with three wins in their three opening games in Group J.

Armenia has however lost only two matches at home in their eight-match winless streak in all tournaments, where they had gone unbeaten in six before. The hosts might come into the game and produce impressive results and make the Sunday clash a memorable one in the tournament in front of the home crowd.

Thursday’s Germany 9-0 victory against Liechtenstien made Hansi Flick the first Germany men’s coach to win his first six game in charge cruising safely through to next year’s tournament in Qatar.

Flick’s side Germany have scored a continent-high 32 goals and conceded only three – taking 24 points from a possible 27 in Group J.

Germany are travelling to Yerevan with a 17-game winning streak on the road in World Cup qualifying, having successfully beaten Armenia at home six 6-0.
