Our Republic of Ireland vs Armenia Prediction Sees the Boys in Green Bounce Back in Dublin
The Republic of Ireland return to the Aviva Stadium desperate for redemption after their shock 2-1 defeat in Yerevan earlier in qualifying. Following a battling 0-0 stalemate with Portugal — settled only by a stoppage-time goal — Heimir Hallgrimsson’s men must now take three points to keep faint play-off hopes alive.
Armenia arrive in Dublin after a 2-0 defeat in Hungary but remain in contention for the runners-up spot behind Portugal. A repeat of their home win over Ireland would ignite their qualifying push, but they’ve lost both previous meetings on Irish soil.

Ireland Need a Statement Performance
The Irish were organised but blunt in Lisbon, managing just one shot on target. Back on home soil, Hallgrimsson is expected to unleash a more attacking lineup — potentially pairing Troy Parrott or Adam Idah with Evan Ferguson, who scored in the reverse fixture.
The Celtic striker remains Ireland’s main goal threat and is 2.40 to find the net again. The Boys in Green have won both previous home clashes with Armenia, including a 3-2 thriller in the Nations League three years ago.
Armenia Fighting to Stay Alive
Eduard Spertsyan’s penalty decided the first meeting, and the midfielder remains Armenia’s key creative spark, priced at 5/1 anytime. However, Armenia have failed to score in three of their last four away qualifiers and concede an average of 1.8 goals per game on the road.
Grant-Leon Ranos could return to the starting XI after coming off the bench in Hungary, adding a more direct option up front.
