Armenia vs Portugal Prediction & Expert Tips

Armenia vs Portugal Preview

Armenia enter this clash burdened by a four-game winless streak, a run that has seen them suffer three defeats and collect just one draw. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-2 stalemate against Montenegro, with Eduard Spertsyan’s brace rescuing them from yet another defeat. For a nation that has never featured at the World Cup, the dream remains alive, and with every campaign, the hope of finally breaking into football’s biggest stage grows stronger.

That said, pressure will be heavy on the hosts to deliver something special in front of their supporters. Armenia have failed to score in their last three competitive home matches, all ending in defeat. Their history against Portugal does little to inspire confidence either, as they have never beaten the Selecao. Yet, under Yeghishe Melikyan, they will attempt to defy the odds.

Portugal, meanwhile, arrive full of momentum and confidence. Fresh off lifting the UEFA Nations League trophy in June after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Spain, the Selecao are riding a three-game winning streak. Their form across the past ten matches has been impressive too, with seven victories, two draws, and just one defeat, a run that highlights both their resilience and quality.

Even so, Portugal’s travels have not always been smooth in recent months. In their last eight away fixtures, they managed three wins, drew two, and lost three, showing that they can sometimes be vulnerable away from home. But with six consecutive World Cup appearances under their belt, their eyes are firmly set on extending that streak.

Armenia vs Portugal Prediction

Portugal are huge favourites to win because of the gulf in quality between the two teams, which is evident in their superior squad depth and individual talent. The visitors are fresh from winning the Nations League and are unbeaten in their four meetings against Armenia, recording three wins and a draw, further proving their dominance.

In addition, we do not expect Portugal to concede a goal because their defense has been rock solid lately, shutting down dangerous attacks with confidence and discipline. Meanwhile, Armenia failed to score in their last three home matches, exposing their struggles in the final third and lack of cutting edge.

Lastly, a high-scoring result is expected here because Portugal’s last six games averaged 3.8 goals per game, showing their attacking fluidity and relentless forward play. On the other hand, Armenia’s last five games averaged 4.8 goals per game, reflecting their open approach and tendency to concede plenty as well.
