1:58pm, 9 September 2025【Football】

Tuesday 001 European qualifier Armenia vs Ireland

Armenia's world rankings have dropped by a full 10 places in the past year. During this period, their performance was indeed very bad. They only achieved 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses in the 8 games of the UEFA Nations League. Because their playing style is too radical and their defense is too loose, they have no power to fight back against the offensive team. In the European qualifiers last week, they even suffered a clean blockade by Portugal by 5 goals.

Although Ireland recently achieved a five-game unbeaten record, their actual performance was actually very poor. Bulgaria narrowly won both games in the weak team. In the warm-up match, Luxembourg handed in a blank sheet, and did not play any advantage against Hungary on the field. Ireland's offense has no "trump card", its tactics are too simple, and its pace is relatively slow, so it is difficult to threaten the opponent's goal and its efficiency is very low.

This match: In this confrontation, I think Ireland is the more dominant side. Although they are in a bad state, they have a balanced lineup after all, with a higher tolerance rate and greater room for adjustment. Moreover, they also easily won the ball against Armenia this time. This time, the outside world also expressed certain expectations for them. Therefore, I think the direction of the visiting team can be paid attention to and Ireland is optimistic about taking away the victory.

Recommended: Loss

Tuesday 006 World Cup qualifiers France VS Iceland

France is currently ranked third in the FIFA standings. It defeated Ukraine 2-0 in the last round of World Cup qualifiers, and won all of them in the last two games. During this period, it scored 4 goals, but not lost a goal, and was in a stable state. The four major French players are absent, midfielder Camavenga and central defender Saliba are unable to play due to injury. In addition, forward Dembele and winger Douai left the court due to injury in the World Cup. Although there are many key main players among the four of them, France has replacement candidates, and the injury has little impact.

Iceland currently ranks 74th in the FIFA standings, swept Azerbaijan 5-0 in the last round of the World Cup, and has achieved 2 wins and 4 losses in the last 6 games, and its state is not very stable. Iceland has been unable to score in three away games in the last six World Cup qualifiers. Although they have scored 8 goals in the remaining three games, they have never scored consecutive games during this period, and their offensive performance is not very stable.

This game: The two sides met in the last two times (2019 European qualifiers), France won all of them, and defeated Iceland 4-0 at home during the period, and the advantage of the match was obvious. The overall strength of the two teams is very different, and France has been able to win the home court with zero marks in the last two World Cup qualifiers. During this period, it scored a total of 10 goals and its home offense is very strong. In contrast, Iceland has only achieved 1 draw and 1 loss away game in the last two World Cup qualifiers, and its away form is average. This time France is expected to score all points and have a chance to beat its opponents.
