The Armenian national team started this stage of the Nations League against the Faroe Islands. The match almost turned out to be a disgrace. The hosts twice led in the score, but in the last seconds of both halves the Armenians restored the balance in the score. The draw allowed Petrakov’s team to maintain a three-point distance from Northern Macedonia.
In September, the North Macedonian National Team took four points out of a possible six. Particularly worth highlighting is the match against Armenia, in which, playing the entire second half in the minority, the hosts punished the Armenians twice for wastefulness. After that, they confidently defeated Latvia 3-0 and lead the group with seven points.
The match is likely to be productive. In four of the last five face-to-face meetings in Yerevan there were more than two goals. North Macedonia concede a lot away, with an average of 2.5 goals in the last six official games.
