Match Preview
North Macedonia is on the verge of a historic achievement, with the Balkan team close to earning promotion to League B for the first time in Nations League history.
With 10 points from four matches, North Macedonia leads its group. A win in the next match will secure first place and promotion.
Latvia’s golden period is a distant memory, dating back to their only European Championship appearance in 2004. Since then, they have remained among the underdogs of European football, struggling to achieve similar success.
In this Nations League cycle, Latvia has only managed to earn points in games against the Faroe Islands. Their main goal will be to hold onto third place, which would secure their spot in League C.
Match Facts
- North Macedonia has won three matches in a row with a combined score of 7-0.
- Latvia hasn’t won an away game in over 2.5 years.
- North Macedonia averages 1.6 goals per game at home, while Latvia averages 0.6 goals per game away.

Head-to-Head
The two teams have met four times, with Latvia failing to secure even a draw.
Prediction
The home team has stronger players and should take all three points in this game. It’s unlikely that Latvia will pose much of a challenge, so I’m betting on a North Macedonia victory.
