ARMENIA - MALTA PREDICTIONS

Armenia look to grab a double win over minnows Malta in the quest for points in this bottom of the table clash in Yerevan.

Armenia seem to be improving all the time, their results are mixed but there is encouragement. Since New Year 2012 Armenia have 4 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats. With 14 goals scored and 17 conceded they are starting to compete in games against the big boys. Armenia have some decent young players now too and in midfield they have a very creative centre. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a very exciting attacking midfielder and is attracting the eyes of several top level clubs across Europe. At Shaktar Donestk now he is pulling the strings for them and the national side. Naturalised Brazilian Marcos Pizzelli has spent his entire career in Eastern Europe and looks quality for Armenia too. Upfront the Armenians have several options with three decent strikers, all with decent strike rates. In Group B Armenia have struggled results wise but have given good accountof themselves in each game. Sitting in 5^th with a game in hand with 1 win, 0 draw and 3 defeats they can go level with Denmark with a win here.

Malta have improved their game marginally and are now one of the better sides out of the really small teams. They have shown their mettle with wins over several sides around them at the bottom of the FIFA rankings. However in game against anyone of note they are still struggling. Malta have several decent players but have far too many poor ones. Malta’s recent form looks decent with 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. But if you look into the statistics you see wins over Liechtenstein (twice) San Marino and Luxembourg. A draw against Northern Ireland is not too bad but they were hammered by Bulgaria and Czech Republic. Italy beat them twice but never really got going in either game and seemed happy to take 2-0 wins twice. Malta sit bottom of Group B with 5 losses from 5 with 1 goal scored and 14 conceded.

ARMENIA - MALTA: BETTING TIPS

The odds on a home win are really short and although on paper this looks a certain home win Armenia must break down the 10 men Malta will put behind the ball. Armenia are a much improved side and for me one who will continue to do so. I think Armenia have the ability to score a few goals here and with Malta unlikely to trouble the scorer Armenia -1.5 at 1.75 with Bet365 looks a great bet. Malta have managed a solitary goal in the whole campaign. It was a goal in Prague against the Czechs but it was a 30 yard screamer that can be chalked down as a fluke. Especially since they have not got close to scoring since.
