North Macedonia
After qualifying for Euro 2020 and putting in some very respectable performances despite three losing all three matches, the Macedonians dream of qualifying for the next World Cup.
Their performance so far in this group has been pretty positive, with two wins and one loss in three matches. The defeat came to Romania, whilst the wins came against Liechtenstein and Germany.
Armenia
Armenia has probably been the national team revelation of the last year, as their performance under Spanish coach Joaquin Caparros has improved significantly. The Armenians have three wins from three matches.
After missing basically a year of matches with the Armenian national team, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is back with his country, so the Armenians’ quality on the pitch should improve even further.
Of the last five meetings between the two teams, Armenia have won on three occasions.
