Cyprus host Latvia looking to build on Armenia victory

Recent momentum

Cyprus arrive on the back of a 2-0 win over Armenia, their second win in their last five matches. That result followed a goalless draw with Monday's opponents and a narrow 1-2 defeat to Montenegro. Latvia, meanwhile, have lost their last two fixtures, going down 0-2 to Armenia before a 1-2 reverse against Montenegro. The visitors' recent wins both came against Gibraltar in March, each by a 1-0 margin.

What the teams already know

The sides met last month in a goalless draw, the second consecutive meeting between the pair to finish level. Their previous encounter in March 2024 ended 1-1, meaning the two head-to-head fixtures above have produced two goals in total. Cyprus have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five, while Latvia's record across the same period shows two wins, one draw and two defeats.

The market view

The market-implied probabilities place Cyprus as clear favourites at 57.7 per cent, with the draw at 24.7 per cent and a Latvia win at 17.6 per cent. That assessment aligns with the recent form: the home side won their most recent match, while Latvia have lost their last two. The contrast is sharpest at the edges, while Latvia's chances sit below one in five.
