In Jerevan the stakes are lopsided: Armenia need all three points to stay in the race, while Cyprus can settle for a draw to secure second place.
The final round in Group 2 carries very different pressure for each side. Armenia have to win or their promotion chances are gone. Cyprus only need to avoid defeat to be sure of a top-two finish.
The visitors arrive in good form, having won their last two, including the win over these same opponents in October. That result gives them a psychological edge, even if away matches have rarely been kind to them. They are not a side built on possession, but on organised defending and making the most of their chances.
Armenia have too often found themselves chasing games, and home matches have been a struggle lately. Eduard Spertsyan is missed in midfield, and Grant-Leon Ranos is expected to lead the attack. Home advantage and necessity, though, may push them to play with courage.
Expect Armenia to press forward from the start while Cyprus sit back and look to counter. An early home goal could open the match up. Without one, every passing minute works in the visitors' favour.
