Latvia vs Cyprus Preview
Latvia sit bottom of Nations League Group C2 after a chastening 2-0 defeat to Armenia in their opener, leaving manager Paolo Nicolato under immediate pressure to deliver a response. QPR defender Denniss Cirkins is expected to earn a first senior cap, while Kristers Čudars has been called up to replace the injured Jānis Ikaunieks. Nicolato may shuffle his starting eleven in search of greater attacking threat.
Cyprus arrived in this campaign with two wins and a draw from their most recent outings, yet their opening fixture ended in a frustrating 2-1 loss to Montenegro after conceding twice despite taking the lead. Burnley attacker Marcus Edwards marked his competitive debut with a goal, offering a genuine creative spark. Manager Apostolos Mantzios will welcome Hector Kyprianou back into full training as his side look to avoid slipping to the foot of the table.
Both sides enter this fixture pointless and desperate, yet Cyprus possess marginally stronger recent momentum. The visitors claimed two wins and a draw across their last three outings before the Nations League window, whereas Latvia's form has been considerably more barren. That underlying trajectory, combined with Marcus Edwards' threat in attack, tilts the balance away from the hosts.
The sole previous meeting between these nations ended 1-1 in a March 2024 friendly, underlining how evenly matched they are. A draw at 3.10 therefore carries genuine appeal. Cyprus also showed character against Montenegro, taking the lead before succumbing late, which suggests Apostolos Mantzios' side will not fold easily on the road.
A Draw or Away selection covers both realistic outcomes for a Cyprus side that look the better-equipped unit. The away win price at 2.62 reflects the visitors' slight edge, while the draw remains a plausible result given the tight margins separating these two. Under 2.5 goals at 1.65 may also appeal, given neither attack inspires great confidence. Odds correct at time of publication.
