Preview
Scotland begin their Nations League campaign after a 3-1 loss to Ukraine in their WCQ Semi-final clash played last week.
Yarmolenko, Yaremchuk and Dovbyk scored for the visitors to dash the Scottish team’s dreams of a World Cup spot. McGregor scored late in the piece to pull one back but it wasn’t enough to help the hosts prevail.
Scotland keep their dreams aside and will look to prepare in order to prevail for the next WC chance in 2026.
On the other hand, Armenia pulled off a surprise 1-0 win over Ireland in their opening match last week.
Spertsyan scored the deciding goal to help Armenia prevail and get themselves underway in the UEFA Nations League.
This was a relief win of sorts after Armenia were bludgeoned 9-0 by Norway in a friendly clash in March.
They will look to consolidate and get some momentum with another three points.

Prediction: Scotland 2-1 Armenia
We expect Scotland to get back to winning ways in this one. Armenia’s victory was important for them but we find it hard to see them making it two-in-two.
The hosts will be rallied by their troops which can be enough to prove their mettle, quality and gain three massive points.
