Key player - Ireland
In Ireland, the presence of Troy Parrott stands out. The 20-year-old has had a remarkable season with MK Dons, scoring nine goals. He also already knows what it's like to score for his national team, having scored 15 goals since his debut in the 2018 U17 European Championship.
Key player - Armenia
In Armenia the presence of Sargis Adamyan stands out. The 29-year-old has had a decent season scoring six goals for Club Brugge and hopes to contribute his goals to help the national team make a big leap in quality.
Armenia vs Ireland history
The history between these two teams is short, as they have only met twice. This occurred in the 2010-11 season, when they met in Group B of the qualifiers for UEFA Euro 2012, with both matches ending in victory for the Irish.
Preview of the match
Armenia's national team is making its debut at this level of the UEFA Nations League, having achieved promotion from League C. However, their letter of introduction is not only that, after having an acceptable role in the qualifying rounds for the World Cup in Qatar, and it will surely be their responsibility to maintain that promotion.
The Irish have remained in League B and come from a complicated road to Qatar, where they shared a group with the surprising Serbia and Portugal, who in the end were the ones who qualified. The challenge will be to surpass the records they have set before and look for the possibility of qualifying to the European Championship and why not, to the next World Cup.
Group B1
