Armenia vs Republic of Ireland prediction 09.09.2025 | World Cup Qualifiers

Armenia were looking to end their four-match losing streak when they hosted Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal for their opening match in Group F of the World Cup qualifiers last week.

It was another disastrous defensive performance by the Collective team, who conceded five goals without scoring any themselves. Armenia have now lost four of their last five games in all competitions and shipped at least three goals in four of those matches.

Things have not been good at home either for Yegishe Melikyan’s side, who have lost each of their last four competitive home games without scoring. 

Meanwhile, Ireland were looking to return to winning ways against Hungary last week after drawing both of their friendlies in June.

The Boys in Green were unable to achieve this, instead having to fight for a draw as they equalised in stoppage time through Idah, despite having played with a man advantage for over 40 minutes.

Although the draw extended the Republic of Ireland's unbeaten run in all competitions to five matches, the fact that the Greens lost two of their last three away games is a major cause for concern ahead of their trip to Armenia.

Evan Ferguson scored his seventh goal for Ireland against Hungary last time out and is expected to lead the line on Tuesday alongside Finn Azaz.
