Wales go up against Armenia on Friday in a game played out at Cardiff City Stadium. We are entering the third round of the group stage in the European Championship with both very eager to add points to their tally. Wales and Armenia had to make do with a point each in their latest encounter, which finished with a 0-0 scoreline. The best betting odds on a draw at full-time with the bookies are at 7/2.

At the end of the second round of the group stage, Wales is ranked number two with four points, while Armenia have zero points as number four. Wales enter their upcoming game placed as number 26 in the FIFA world ranking. This leaves quite a gap to opponents Armenia, who enter the game ranked number 97 in the world.

It is perhaps unrealistic to expect Wales to come out on top of their group; however, it would be unexpected for them to not qualify for the upcoming tournament from this group. It is highly unlikely that Armenia will be able to progress beyond this group, but they may be able to snatch a few points here and there, which would be regarded as a success for them.

Wales vs Armenia Prediction

Wales Form

Wales have seen it all in their last three matches, which gave them four points. First, they went down 0-3 against England, before picking up a 1-1 draw against Croatia. Their latest match brought a 1-0 win in their encounter with Latvia. Wales claimed just a single measly win from a possible six, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored three and conceded nine goals.

Armenia Form

In their previous three games, Armenia lost 2-0 and 1-2 against Albania and Turkey, respectively, before drawing 2-2 with Cyprus. Armenia failed to win a single one of their previous six internationals, in which they drew one and lost four. They let in 21 goals while scoring four themselves.

The way Wales are performing right, a home win looks the most likely outcome, when Armenia swing by. The visitors don't seem to possess enough stability currently to prevent the home side from a win.

Armenia have not been victorious in any of their last nine games.
