Andorra vs Latvia Prediction and Betting Tips | March 21st 2025
Andorra will host Latvia at the Estadi Nacional on Friday in the opening round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Both teams will be looking to get their qualifying run off to a good start as they both seek debut appearances in the World Cup finals.
The Tricolours played out a goalless draw against Malta in their most recent outing back in November 2024, meaning the West European side have now won just one of their last 23 games across all competitions. The hosts were eliminated from the last World Cup qualifiers in the group stages after finishing in second-to-last place but will be hoping to perform better this time around.
Latvia were also eliminated in the group stages of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and have struggled to pick up wins recently, with two wins in their last 13 games. The hosts suffered losses to Armenia and North Macedonia during the last international break but will fancy their chances of making the playoffs in a group comprising of their weekend opponents as well as England, Albania and Serbia.
