Latvia hosts Andorra in round 1 of the UEFA Nations League D. The match will be played on Thursday, September 3rd at Daugavas stadions (Riga)
Latvia starts in Group 1 of the Nations League with a home match against Andorra. It is worth noting that the teams are perfectly familiar with each other's game styles because they have already played within the UEFA Nations League not so long ago. The Latvia national football team completely failed the qualification for Euro – it lost nine matches but sensationally beat Austria in the last home game. Nevertheless, the team doesn’t set the Thames on fire. Although Latvia will play in a positional attack during the entire match with Andorra, it is weak in this game component.

Andorra has been playing defensive football for many years - Koldo Alvarez's men show a very tough game and rarely cross their half of the field. They act as tightly and tough as possible near their box, so the opponent needs to play quick football, otherwise it can easily get stuck in defensive formations of the semi-amateur team. I must say that Andorra has its own style (tough defense), so it looks much more solid than the players from San Marino. The visitors need to keep an eye on the striker Shabala, and if they cope with him, they will completely “close” the whole game.
The teams faced each other in the first Nations League, and I must say that the Latvians experienced colossal problems against the tough defense of the Andorrans – both matches ended in goalless draws. It is a typical picture - the clear favorite is weak in a positional attack, while the underdog plays purely defensive football and does not give free space to the opponent. Naturally, such a "line fight" does not give many chances, and I believe that the trend of low scoring in this confrontation will continue, so Under 2.0 goals scored is my choice for the match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 goals scored
