With Montenegro facing Latvia on the same night, both Cyprus and Armenia know that top spot could be out of reach come Wednesday morning should this match go against either one of them.
Montenegro's likeliest challengers in Group C2 are Armenia, who will still be reeling after conceding a last-minute winner to the Montenegrins on Monday night.
That strike from Aleksa Latkovic has left Armenia three points behind Montenegro, and anything other than a win against Cyprus on Tuesday would likely mean they are playing for second place.
Manager Yeghishe Melikyan is expected to go with an unchanged XI here, with no fresh injuries from the Montenegro clash.
As for Cyprus, they will need to drastically improve their home form if they are to come away with a victory on Tuesday night.
Of their last six home matches on home soil, the Cypriots have won just one, illustrating how difficult they have found playing in front of their home supporters for the best part of a year.
At the same time, their historical home record against Armenia is very impressive, with three wins and one draw from four previous encounters.
Manager Akis Mantzios will want more from his forwards this time around after they blanked against Latvia. As a result, Marinos Tzionis could earn a start after only playing 15 minutes in that match.
