Latvia and Moldova will face off in the match of the 5th round of the group stage of the UEFA Nations League in League D. Will the hosts manage not to lose and secure entry to the C League?
Latvia
Last season of the League of Nations Latvia also played in the D League, and then could not rise in the class, winning only one victory in six matches and taking only third place in Group 1. However, this season the national team Latvia is determined to move to the higher League, which it has already practically done. In order to secure the first position before the final round, it is enough for Latvia not to lose in the upcoming meeting. Now she has 12 points in her asset after four rounds, and a 5-point gap from the second-place Moldova.
Moldova
And here Moldova competed in the UEFA Nations League in the last draw, but failed to gain a foothold in it, gaining one point out of eighteen possible. Moldova performs more successfully in the D League, which is understandable, because the opponents are about equal in strength, but, apparently, it will remain in it for the next season, since two rounds before the end of the group stage it has seven points and is five behind Latvia. There are chances for a comeback, but tiny, you need to beat Latvia in the reporting game, then win yourself in the sixth round and hope that Latvia will also lose to Andorra.
Statistics and figures:
- Latvia won in all four rounds with a total score of 10-2;
- Moldova lost in one round out of four;
- Latvia won the first round match 4-2.
Forecast
Latvia beat Moldova on its field, it must do the same on its own, and the victory will guarantee itself the first place and entry into the C League.
