Republic of Ireland and Armenia will conclude their UEFA Nations League group stage campaign this week when they face off at Aviva Stadium in League B Group 1. Match day schedules for September 27 at 21:45 EAT.
Ireland is currently in third position with four points, having only lost three times in 13 matches, the hosts will be optimistic that they can get over the line, however they are facing opponents who surprised them back in June. This is the determinant fixture to decide which team gets relegated to Group C.
Ireland will heads into this game hoping for better results following 2-1 Nations League defeat to Scotland in their previous match. In that game, Ireland managed 39% possession, nine shots with four of them on target and a goal scored by John Egan (18′). Scotland got 14 shots with three of them on target and goals by Jack Hendry (49′) and Ryan Christie (82′).
Armenia will be motivated to record their first away triumph since edging out Liechtenstein back in March 2021. Joaquín Caparró’s men have suffered four successive defeats since that famous win, conceding 14 goals in the process to highlight the magnitude of their victory in the reverse fixture.
Armenia will want to bounce back here following 0-5 trashing at the hands of Ukrain in their most recent match. Armenia managed 36% possession and 12 with four of them on target. Ukraine got 16 shots with seven of them on target and goals by Oleksandr Tymchyk (22′), Oleksandr Zubkov (57′), Artem Dovbyk (69′, 84′) and Danylo Ihnatenko (81′).
