World Cup qualifying Betting Preview: Portugal vs Armenia
Group F leaders Portugal, without Cristiano Ronaldo, go head-to-head with Armenia at Estádio do Dragão, with kick-off set for 09:00 on Sunday 16 November. A draw will most likely be enough for Portugal to secure direct qualification for the World Cup.
Armenia +3 look like a quality wager at a price of -125. We will select the underdogs on the Asian Handicap in the expectation that the Havakakan perform better than anticipated against Portugal.
Portugal suffered a defeat in their last game. A 2-0 World Cup qualifying scoreline occurred on the road at Aviva Stadium against Ireland. The Navigators dominated possession with 70% of the ball and had five shots on target.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s red card against Ireland sidelines him for the Armenia match. It was the Portugal captain’s first dismissal in 227 international appearances.
Armenia lost their previous game, being beaten at home to Hungary by a 1-0 World Cup qualifying scoreline at Republican Stadium - Vazgen Sargsyan. Yegishe Melikyan's men had 50% possession but failed to have a shot on goal.
