The UEFA Nations League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Armenia and North Macedonia lock horns at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium on Sunday. Oleksandr Petrakov’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having lost their last three meetings since a goalless draw in September 2021.
Armenia needed a 93rd-minute strike from 22-year-old Gor Manvelyan to salvage a 2-2 draw against Faroe Islands at the Torsvollur Stadium on Thursday.
Before that, Petrakov’s side stormed to a 4-1 victory over Latvia in their Group C4 curtain-raiser on September 7, three days before crashing back down to earth in a 2-0 loss against North Macedonia.
With Thursday’s result, Armenia have failed to win seven of their last eight UEFA Nations League matches and will be looking to find their feet this weekend.
North Macedonia, on the other hand, maintained their solid start to the 2024-25 Nations League campaign as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Latvia at the Skonto Stadium on Thursday.
Blagoja Milevski’s men have now gone unbeaten in their opening three matches, picking up two wins and one draw while scoring six goals and conceding once so far.
With seven points from a possible nine, North Macedonia currently sit top of the League C Group 4 standings, three points above Sunday’s hosts in second place.
