Latvia VS Montenegro

Sitting near the bottom of their Nations League group, Latvia carries very limited overall competitiveness into this fixture. Their record across the last 10 competitive matches stands at 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses, and their ability to pick up points on home turf is far from reliable, with their past five home games returning few wins and a high share of draws. They adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation, with midfielder Klauss in charge of defensive interceptions and build-up distribution, while forward Uldriķis serves as the attacking focal point who excels at winning aerial duels. Their wide attacking width is mostly created by overlapping full-backs pushing up the pitch. The squad is largely fully fit with no key players sidelined, so their regular starting framework remains intact. They hold strong motivation to earn points to move out of the group's bottom spot. There is very limited head-to-head history between the two sides, with their only previous meeting ending in a draw. Their tactical approach leans heavily on a defensive-first, solid low-block setup.
