Melikyan: Armenia will challenge Cyprus in Nations League clash

Armenia national football team head coach Yeghishe Melikyan says his side will seek to neutralize Cyprus’ strengths in their upcoming Nations League match in Yerevan.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference alongside defender Artyom Bandikyan, Melikyan discussed preparations for the fifth and penultimate round of the competition’s group stage.

“We have thoroughly analyzed our opponents. We had a disappointing match against Cyprus, and we know what allowed them to succeed. Hopefully, tomorrow we will be able to neutralize their strengths. We have worked extensively on that and will try to cause problems for them,” Melikyan said, according to Factor.am.

Armenia will face Cyprus on November 12 at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yerevan, with kickoff scheduled for 9:00 p.m.

After four rounds in Group 2 of Nations League Division C, Montenegro leads the standings with 10 points, followed by Cyprus with 7. Armenia has 4 points, while Latvia is bottom with 1.
