Ireland vs Armenia Odds

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

With an approximate 66% chance of succeeding, the bookies are being cautious with their -192 betting odds for Ireland triumphing in this World Cup qualifying encounter. The market suggests that Armenia are least likely to win at +510.

Ireland -1 on the Asian Handicap at -112 means you need them to beat Armenia by two or more goals for a full return. However, a one-goal margin of victory means money back which resembles insurance.

Over and Under 2.5 Goals backers are able to get odds which are similar for the Total Goals market. Both Teams to Score betting is always popular and the No option on the BTTS market is available at -128.
