Comparative Team Statistics: Armenia vs Cyprus

They've met very recently

These teams aren't strangers. They played each other just last month in this same Nations League campaign, and Cyprus won that one 2-0 away from home.

Further back, a 2023 friendly ended 2-2, while Armenia won 3-2 the last time before that, back in 2017. The sample is small, but the most recent meeting is also the most relevant.

Cyprus have the upper hand in the most recent head-to-head meeting.

What might shape this one

Armenia's home form this year hasn't been convincing, with just a single win in nine games overall. That's not ideal footing for hosting a side who beat them only a month ago.

Cyprus, for their part, have shown they can be competitive away from home, with four wins and three draws in their last ten. Given both teams' defensive numbers, a tight, cagey game wouldn't be a surprise.
