On October 5, 2026, the national teams of Cyprus and Latvia will meet in the fourth round of UEFA Nations League Division C.
Cyprus - Latvia team news and expert analysis
Cyprus finished second from bottom in their group both in the previous Nations League campaign and in the qualifiers. They began the current cycle in Montenegro and, quite predictably, suffered a defeat there. They then played out a goalless draw away to their current opponents. At home against Armenia, they finally secured a win — and did so by a 2-0 scoreline.
Latvia remained in Division C only thanks to their victories over Gibraltar in March — two 1-0 wins in the play-off ties. They started the new cycle against Armenia, failing to respond to a couple of goals and ultimately losing. Then, after their head-to-head meeting with the opponent, they faced Montenegro and even suffered a 1-2 defeat at home.
The islanders average one goal per match, while conceding just 0.67. The Baltic side, meanwhile, score only 0.33 goals per game and concede as many as 1.33.
Previous matches: Cyprus - Latvia
Before this cycle, the teams had met only in friendlies — Cyprus won twice, with one draw two years ago.
The hosts are in decent form. Considering that they are also playing at home — an important factor for them — we expect this one to end in a "home" victory (odds – 1.75).
