Latvia and Cyprus last met in March of last year, and that game ended 1-1, the only meeting between the two sides to go on. This time it is a continental cup competition, the UEFA Nations League, where both play in the same system, so we should see a game quite different from that friendly last year. Latvia come into this match after losing 2 in a row, with their latest in this competition a 0-2 defeat, while Cyprus also lost their latest in the same competition. Before that, though, Cyprus picked up wins in 2 of 3 friendlies, so the two teams are not that far apart in condition. The game is likely to be a midfield exchange rather than one side sitting back and waiting, but with the attacking quality of both still not sharp enough, it will probably be decided by small details rather than a blowout. The first half may be a period where both teams stay cautious and keep the door shut, before the second half opens up more as each side has to chase a goal.
