Armenia - Cyprus

Armenia forward Artur Miranyan remains the focal point for the hosts as they prepare for this UEFA Nations League C Group 2 matchday 5 encounter on 12 November 2026. After a testing period in the group, including a goalless draw against Montenegro in their most recent outing, Armenia are eager to regain their attacking rhythm at Republican Stadium - Vazgen Sargsyan. The expected XI, anchored by goalkeeper Arsen Beglaryan and the defensive trio of Nair Tiknizyan, Georgiy Arutiunian, and Argishti Petrosyan, will need to show greater cohesion than they displayed in their previous meeting with the visitors.

Cyprus arrive in Yerevan buoyed by their recent form, having secured a 2-1 victory over Latvia in their last competitive fixture. While they must navigate the absences of Ioannis Kosti, Giannis Satsias, and Konstantinos Soteriou, the visitors will look to replicate the clinical performance that secured a 2-0 win against Armenia on 2 October 2026. With Ioannis Pittas and Marcus Edwards expected to lead the line, Cyprus aim to exploit any defensive gaps as they seek to maintain their momentum in this pivotal group stage clash.
