Armenia 4-1 Latvia

Current streaks

Recent form

Armenia

Armenia's recent form shows a mixed performance with a notable improvement in their latest match. After experiencing a challenging run of four consecutive losses, including defeats against Croatia, Kosovo, Czechia, and Slovenia, Armenia managed to break their losing streak with a draw against Wales and followed it up with a victory over Kazakhstan. Despite the recent win, their goal-scoring record remains modest, averaging less than a goal per game (0.83) in their last six matches. Defensively, they've struggled, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in this period. The team's matches have been relatively balanced in terms of scoring, with an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, and both teams scoring in two-thirds of the fixtures. While there were no particularly high-scoring games, the recent 2-1 win against Kazakhstan marks a positive turn in their form after a difficult stretch.

Latvia

Latvia's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with a slight improvement in their most recent matches. After a three-game winless streak (two losses and a draw), they managed to secure a narrow 1-0 victory against the Faroe Islands in their latest Baltic Cup fixture. Defensive struggles have been evident, with Latvia conceding 8 goals in their last 6 games while only scoring 3, resulting in a -5 goal difference. Notably, all of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of the games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their inability to find the back of the net regularly is highlighted by their average of just 0.5 goals scored per game. However, a positive sign is their recent clean sheet against the Faroe Islands, which could boost their confidence defensively moving forward.

Recent home/away form

Armenia

Armenia's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing equal measures of strength and vulnerability. In their last six home matches, Armenia has managed 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, demonstrating a lack of consistency. The team has been involved in some closely contested matches, with no particularly high-scoring games standing out. Notably, Armenia has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these six games, conceding in every match. Their goal-scoring record is modest, averaging 1.17 goals per game, which is exactly matched by their goals conceded per game. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 67% of these matches, suggesting that Armenia's games often feature goals at both ends. The even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals (50% each) further emphasizes the unpredictable nature of Armenia's home performances.

Latvia

Latvia's recent away form has been notably poor, with a significant run of five consecutive losses only broken by their most recent draw against Cyprus. The team has struggled defensively, conceding an alarming 15 goals in their last six away matches, averaging 2.5 goals conceded per game. Particularly concerning were the high-scoring defeats to Croatia (5-0) and Türkiye (4-0) in Euro Qualifiers. Latvia's offensive output has been minimal, scoring just twice in these six games, resulting in a goal difference of -13. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches, and have only managed to score in 33% of them. The team's defensive fragility is further highlighted by the fact that 50% of their away games have seen over 2.5 goals scored, despite their own lack of scoring prowess.
