The Republic of Ireland take on Armenia in a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday evening. The game kicks off at 7:45pm at the Aviva Stadium, and defeat for either side would be a killer blow to their hopes of qualifying for the tournament in North America next summer.

Both teams to score<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/4 @ SBK<\/a>
(44.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nArmenia\u2019s ongoing defensive troubles can\u2019t be ignored \u2014 they\u2019ve failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 34 matches across all competitions. History doesn\u2019t favour them much in Dublin either, with Ireland winning the previous two home meetings, both of which saw goals at either end. While Armenia have shown flashes of attacking intent and should have enough quality to test the Irish defence, their leaky backline makes it difficult to picture an upset at the Aviva. With both sides under pressure to get a result, both teams to score looks like the standout value bet in this one.\n<\/tr>\n
Evan Ferguson to Score<\/strong><\/td>\n31\/20 @ BetMGM<\/a>
(39.2%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nEvan Ferguson found his way onto the scoresheet when these nations last met in Armenia back in September, and the young forward will be eager to repeat the feat on Tuesday night. Now 20 and gaining valuable experience on loan at Roma from West Ham, Ferguson has already notched seven goals in just 25 caps for Ireland. His physical presence, intelligent movement, and sharp finishing make him a constant threat in and around the box. With confidence high and Armenia\u2019s defence far from reliable, Ferguson looks a strong shout to add another goal to his growing international record.\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
