Armenia vs Republic of Ireland: prediction & betting tips 09/09/2025

09.09.2025

Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the World Cup qualifying match.

The Republic of Ireland travel to Yerevan after a difficult start to the qualifiers and a 2:2 home draw with Hungary. For the Irish, this fixture is an opportunity to steady themselves. Armenia, meanwhile, arrive on the back of a 5:0 defeat to Portugal, are in a poor run and need points to avoid slipping out of contention early.

Armenia

The hosts are in a deep slump: five straight competitive defeats (friendlies do not offer respite either, with no wins in the last two), including a 5:0 loss to Portugal. Defensive issues are stark — 16 conceded across the last five matches. The attack lacks edge as well: only three goals in that span. Home advantage may help, but confidence is low. The coach keeps tweaking the system, so far without success.

Republic of Ireland

The Irish side in the match against Hungary (2:2) showed character, coming from two goals down. Forward Evan Ferguson is in good nick, and the midfield with Josh Cullen looks assured. After a heavy defeat to England in the UEFA Nations League, the Irish are unbeaten in five in all competitions.

Armenia vs Republic of Ireland Prediction

At this stage the Republic of Ireland are stronger and in better form. Armenia are unstable, especially at the back, and may not withstand the visitors’ pressure. The Irish should take all three points.
