Wales and Armenia return to action in the 2024 European Championship qualifiers when they face off at the Cardiff City Stadium on Friday (June 16).
The hosts got their quest for a place in the Euro 2024 up and running with a slender 1-0 win over Latvia on March 28. Robert Page’s side were on a nine-game winless run, losing six and drawing three, including a 1-1 draw with Croatia in their Group D opener in March.
With four points from two games, Wales are first in the standings, level on points with second-placed Croatia.
Armenia, meanwhile, have played just one game in the qualifiers, which came in March, where they lost 2-1 to Turkey. Oleksandr Petrakov’s men were involved in a friendly against Cyprus at the Republican Stadium three days later, drawing 2-2.
Trending
Armenia are on a run of nine games without a win, losing seven since a 1-0 win over Ireland in June 2022.
