2026-2027 Nations League: Armenia vs. Cyprus, Probable Lineups

Armenia and Cyprus face off at 6 p.m. in a match for Matchday 5 of Group 2 in League C of the 2026–2027 Nations League. Armenia currently sits in third place in the group with 4 points; in their last match, they drew on the road against group leader Montenegro. Cyprus is in second place with 7 points: a win would secure their qualification for the promotion playoffs to League B. In the first leg, Cyprus defeated Armenia 2-0.

The match is therefore a head-to-head battle for second place. Armenia’s attacking duo consists of Zelarayan and Miranyan. In midfield, Ugochukwu partners with Spercjan, while Sevikjan and Tiknizjan play on the wings. The two fullbacks will be Bueno and Grigoryan.

Kakoullis is the center forward for Mantzios’s squad, which fields a trio of attacking midfielders—Loizou, Kastanos, and Pittas—behind him. The central midfielders will be Charalampous and Spoljaric.
