Armenia-Hungary free tip
The stakes are high, and both teams will be desperate to avoid defeat. However, only a win would truly help Armenia, so we expect a bolder home side in the closing stages of the match. Our safe bet is therefore that no goals will be scored in the 1st half — a pick that would not be a loser even if one goal does go in.
