Form Guide
The Republic of Ireland head into Tuesday's game following a 2-1 defeat away to Scotland on Saturday. Despite taking a 1-0 lead through a brilliant John Egan strike, Ireland coughed up chances and allowed Scotland to equalise early in the second half. In a moment of madness in the 80th minute, Scotland were awarded a penalty for an Alan Browne handball. Christie converted the penalty and Ireland's impressive performance was overshadowed by the scoreline.
Going into Tuesday night's game, pressure is mounting on head coach Stephen Kenny, who will be looking to secure a win to validate his team's performances.

Armenia on the other hand come into this game following a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Ukraine. They will need to secure a win at the Aviva if they are to avoid relegation.
