Latvia vs Faroe Islands Prediction & Betting Tips (10 September)

Winner of its Nations League group D in the previous edition, Latvia has earned the right to play at the higher level this year. Logically expected in the fight not to go down, the Balts got off to a bad start by losing heavily in Armenia last Saturday 4-1. They must react quickly to avoid relegation. During qualifying for Euro 2024, Latvia performed poorly by taking, with 3 points from 8 matches, the last place in its group which included Turkey, Croatia, Wales and Armenia.Already present in Nations League C during the last edition, the Faroe Islands ensured their survival by finishing quite clearly ahead of the red lantern, Lithuania.

This year, Hakan Ericson's men are once again aiming to keep their place in League C. Last Saturday, they held off North Macedonia at home for their entry into the competition 1-1. During the qualifiers for Euro 2024, the Faroese did not shine, finishing with a record of 2 draws and 6 defeats. Last in group E, they were beaten by Albania, the Czech Republic, Poland and Moldova.

The elements making up the Latvian group are completely unknown to the general public and none are currently playing in one of the major European championships. We still find the interesting midfielder Tobers (Grasshoppers) who, despite his 23 years, is already the captain of the selection. The offensive area is not really scary. Janis Ikaunieks (RFS, ex-Metz), Uldrikis (Athens Kallithea), Gutkovskis (Daejon Hana Citizen) and Krollis (Trieste) are Latvia's main weapons. For this gathering, we can point out the absences of goalkeeper Steinbors (31 sel), defenders Maksimenko (54 sel), Jagodinskis (32 sel), Oss (27 sel) and Cernomordijs (31 sel), midfielder Zjuzins (69 sel) and striker Krollis (37 selection). For the Faroe Islands, we can point out the non-call-up of defender Nattestad (B36), who has not appeared in the selection since November 2023.

Aside from defender Andrias Edmundsson (Wisla Plock) and the experienced striker Joan Simun Edmundsson (8 goals in 90 games), who plays...in North Macedonia, all the elements play in the Scandinavian championships and are unknown to the general public. It should be noted that goalkeeper Gestsson (23 sel) and midfielder Olsen (53 sel) are absent this Saturday.
