We said: North Macedonia 2-1 Armenia

North Macedonia have their work cut out to qualify for next summer's Euros after being placed in a difficult group, but the Lynxes should be good enough to win on Tuesday afternoon. Armenia were well below average as they lost at bottom side Latvia last time out, and we can envisage the visitors struggling at Stadion Blagoj Istatov in this one. Read more.
