Italy dare not miss out on another major finals and that's looking unlikely after the first four qualifiers. They top the table with 12 points from their four matches with 13 goals scored and just one conceded. The Italians began Group J with a 2-0 home win over Finland and followed that with a 6-0 home hammering of Liechtenstein. June saw them beat Greece 3-0 away and get a late winner against Bosnia and Herzegovina. That took their unbeaten run to eight games and five wins in a row.

Armenia are third in the group with six points. That's three points behind the second qualifying positiion currently held by Finland and six adrift of Italy. Their Euro 2020 campaign didn't get off to a good start when losing 2-1 at Bosnia and Herzegovina. Just three days later, they lost 2-0 at home to Finland so qualifying wasn't looking at all likely. Armenia got off the mark with a 3-0 home win over Liechtenstein. A larger score looked likely as they went 2-0 up in 18 minutes. However, they had to wait until the 91st minute to get the third. Next up was an away game in Greece and again Armenia made a strong start going 2-0 up after 33 minutes. Greece fought back but Armenia went on to win 3-2 and boost their qualifying hopes. They have never made it to the finals and this is a tough game for them against the leaders. Go for Italy to win this match, leading at both half and full time.
