In a neutral ground due to the Russian invasion of the country, Ukraine host Armenia for the third round of a group also containing Ireland and Scotland. Armenia were defeated to Scotland while Ukraine managed to pull an away win against Ireland. It is remarkable what this Ukraine team is achieving right now. In an attempt to give hope to a war-torn nation, these players are defying the odds and giving it their all, eliminating Scotland at ease before narrowly losing out to Wales, in a game where they surely had the better chances. Their World Cup dream might be over, but their recent form is telling of the mentality Petrakov’s players are showing, with Ukraine having just one defeat in their last thirteen games. Their defensive solidity has also improved, with Ukraine having conceded more than one goal just once in their thirteen games after the Euros.

With talisman Henrikh Mkhitaryan announcing his retirement from international duty recently, Armenia have struggled to cope with his absence. Their win against Ireland was a welcome sign of encouragement, putting an end to a negative streak of nine competitive games without a win, but their latest defeat to Scotland showcased the team’s lack of depth. It is evident that they have not managed to score in four of their last seven games, while away from home they have not won in their last eight, failing to score in five of those games.
