Latvia vs Armenia Prediction: 17/11/2024

In Sunday’s Nations League lineup, Latvia will face Armenia.

Latvia heads into this match following a 1-1 draw with the Faroe Islands. In that game, Latvia controlled 38% of the possession, making 11 attempts with four on target. Dario Šits scored for Latvia, while Hanus Sørensen scored for the Faroe Islands, who had 13 shots in total.

Latvia has struggled to keep clean sheets recently, conceding 10 goals in their last six matches. However, it remains to be seen if this trend will continue in the upcoming game.

Armenia, on the other hand, comes into this match after a 2-0 loss to North Macedonia. Armenia had a significant 58% of the ball and made 16 attempts, though only three were on target. Bojan Miovski and Isnik Alimi scored for North Macedonia. Armenia’s defense has also shown vulnerabilities, conceding 10 goals across their last six matches.

In their previous Nations League encounter on September 7, 2024, Armenia won 4-1 over Latvia. Armenia controlled 59% possession and had 16 shots, with goals from Vahan Bichakhchyan, Lucas Zelarayán, and Eduard Spertsyan, while Latvia’s only goal came from a defensive error by Armenia.

Both teams have a fully fit roster for this match, with no reported injuries for Latvia’s coach Paolo Nicolato or Armenia’s manager Oleksandr Petrakov.

 

Prediction

It’s likely that both teams may struggle to find the back of the net, and the match could end in a low-scoring draw. A 0-0 scoreline seems a possible outcome, with fewer than 3.5 goals expected in the game.
