These two decisive matches will determine our team’s final standing, as it is still in contention for first place in the group.
Our national team, with seven points from its first four matches, is in second place, behind Montenegro, which has ten points.
If Cyprus avoids a loss in Armenia, it will definitely finish second, and with six points from its last two matches, it could even finish at the top.
