Latvia vs Andorra Predictions

• Latvia enter this game on the back of a four-game unbeaten run.
• Andorra are the only side other than San Marino yet to win a Nations League D match.
• San Marino are the only side that Andorra have beaten away from home across the last four years.

13th time is the charm for Latvia

After winning just once across their first 12 UNL games to date (D8, L3), Latvia will be hoping to get this campaign off to a winning start against one of the worst sides in the entire tournament, Andorra.

This competition has often come under fire for being unimportant, but Latvian coach Dainis Kazakevicz has stated that they have their sights set upon winning this group and thus gaining promotion. To do so, a winning start in what looks to be the easiest game on paper is a must.

A long, hard road for Andorra

Yet to win a single group stage game in UNL League D (D6, L6), Andorra’s outlook ahead of this campaign is not great, especially when they are paired with only San Marino for that unwanted record.

The most notable result that Andorra have posted in recent years was perhaps a 2-2 draw in Albania, but their only victory across longer than a four-year period away from home came against UEFA’s lowest ranked nation, San Marino. Such form hardly inspires confidence of an Andorran bounce.

Overall, we predict that the short price around a Latvian win is about right and should be taken. As for the correct score, we predict that Latvia will grind out a 1-0 win over what could be a resolute Andorra as both sides fight for a positive start.
