Latvia host Montenegro in the UEFA Nations League. Latvia have found goals hard to come by recently, while Montenegro have been much more prolific in their own recent matches.

This one looks like a contrast in styles rather than a straightforward form guide. Latvia's games have mostly stayed tight and low-scoring, so it's worth seeing whether Montenegro's sharper edge in front of goal travels well here.

Form: two very different pictures

Latvia's last five matches have brought no wins at all, just three draws and two defeats, and only a single goal scored across the lot. That's a side struggling to create or finish chances right now.

Montenegro, by contrast, have won four of their last seven, drawn two and lost only one, scoring thirteen goals along the way. They've clearly been the more threatening side in recent outings, even allowing for some looser friendlies in that sample.

Montenegro's recent scoring rate stands out next to Latvia's struggles at the other end.

History: old meetings, no home win for Latvia

The three meetings on record go back to 2020 and 2021, all from a World Cup qualifying cycle plus a friendly. They finished 0-0, 1-2 to Montenegro away from home, and 1-1.

None of that is recent enough to say much about either side's current level, but it's notable that Latvia haven't beaten Montenegro in any of these earlier games.

Team news: not much to go on

The only player detail available is Nikola Krstović picking up an assist in a recent Montenegro appearance. It's a small sign he's been involved and contributing, but it doesn't tell us about the wider squad or who else might feature.

There's nothing here on Latvia's side, so no read on fitness or selection for the hosts.

How this one might unfold

Given Latvia's recent difficulty scoring and Montenegro's much better run in front of goal, the pattern points to Montenegro carrying the more obvious attacking threat.

Latvia's draws suggest they can stay compact and avoid heavy defeats, so a tight, low-scoring contest wouldn't be a surprise even if Montenegro create the better chances.

Without a market to weigh up, there's no sensible pick to make here. Montenegro clearly arrive with the better recent scoring record, but Latvia's tendency to grind out draws adds real uncertainty to how open this game will be.

With such limited team news and no betting line to reference, sitting this one out feels like the sensible call rather than guessing at a market that isn't there.
