Latvia's picture is bleaker on the scoreboard. Across their last five outings they haven't won once, drawing three and losing two, and they've managed just a single goal in total. That's a real drought in attack.

Latvia's lack of goals stands out more than any home or away split.

Comparative Team Statistics: Cyprus vs Latvia

One meeting, not much to go on

These two have only met once in the data available, a 1-1 friendly back in March 2024. It finished level, but a single old friendly doesn't tell us much about how either side lines up now.

A booking watch for Cyprus

K. Laifis has picked up three yellow cards in his last five appearances for Cyprus. That's a fair few for such a short run, so it's one to keep an eye on, though it doesn't confirm anything about his involvement in this specific fixture.

Could this open up?

Cyprus's defence has looked open at times, conceding 12 in seven matches, while Latvia have barely scored at all lately. Those two things pulling in different directions makes the outcome hard to read with confidence.

The one previous meeting between them ended goalless in terms of a winner, 1-1, which fits the idea that neither side finds it easy to be clearly the better team here.
