Latvia vs Armenia prediction
Fortunate to be in a season without relegation ahead of a UEFA Nations League format shake up, Latvia have collected one point from five matches after avoiding League C relegation back in March with a promotion/relegation play-off defeat of Gibraltar.
Armenia sit third in League C Group 2 with five points collected from their five matches. Their 1-1 draw against Cyprus the other day in Yerevan means that they cannot leapfrog the Southern Europeans in second place due to their head-to-head record.
This is a low-quality contest but one that, with Latvia in particular, lack any sort of attacking quality or incision and so a low-scoring contest is to be expected for this one.
Latvia vs Armenia tip: Under 2.5 goals
