UEFA Nations League tonight, Cyprus host Latvia. The two teams met just in September and it ended in a 0-0 draw. That game had no goals at all, and this fixture is a chance for both to pick up more points in the continental competition than they have managed so far. Cyprus's last five games brought two wins, two draws and one defeat, with their most recent match in this competition a 2-0 victory. Latvia, meanwhile, have not won any of their last five, drawing two and losing three, and they lost their latest match 1-2. Overall the hosts are in better form, but both sides have the same problem when it comes to finishing. The pattern from Cyprus's last ten games shows they average 4.56 shots on target per game, while Latvia manage 2.33 per game and hold slightly less of the ball. If the hosts score first from a spell of sustained pressure, the game should open up and more goals could follow. But if Latvia sit deep and keep breaking up play, it could drag on until late.
