Montenegro edge the head-to-head record
The two nations have met on three occasions. Montenegro won one of those meetings, coming away with a 2-1 victory at Latvia in March 2021 (World Cup Qualification). The other two meetings ended level: a 0-0 draw in Montenegro in September 2021 (World Cup Qualification) and a 1-1 draw in a friendly in October 2020. Latvia have yet to win a match against Montenegro in their recorded history, though they have avoided defeat twice through draws.
Montenegro's momentum against Latvia's inconsistency
Montenegro have gathered 10 points from their last five matches, recording three wins, one draw, and one loss. They have been the more prolific side in this sample, scoring 9 goals while conceding 6. Latvia, by contrast, show mixed form with 7 points from the same five-match sample: 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. Their goal tally reflects the struggle—just 3 scored and 4 conceded. Most recently, Latvia have suffered back-to-back defeats, whereas Montenegro's most recent result was a win.
MIXED FORM
GOOD FORM
League C battle in the Nations League
This fixture falls within UEFA Nations League League C, the third tier of the competition's group structure. Both sides are competing in the same group at this stage of the 2026 season, with this match marking Round 3 of the group phase. The Nations League format provides these teams with competitive international football and a pathway to climb through the divisions.
Key Factors
Montenegro's superior recent form: 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss across their last five matches (10 points) versus Latvia's 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses (7 points)
Goal difference favours Montenegro: 9 goals for and 6 against in recent form, compared to Latvia's 3 for and 4 against
Head-to-head edge: Montenegro won 1 of 3 prior meetings between the sides, with 2 draws; Latvia have yet to beat Montenegro in their history
Latvia's inconsistency: two consecutive losses most recently, though they did record back-to-back wins earlier in the sample
Form disparity shapes the narrative
On recent evidence, Montenegro enter as the stronger side. Their three wins in five matches, combined with a +3 goal difference, suggest attacking threat and defensive solidity that Latvia have not matched in the same period. Latvia's two consecutive losses before this fixture underline an inconsistent run, even though they showed they can win matches earlier in the sample. The head-to-head record also leans towards Montenegro, who have never lost to Latvia and have proven they can score against them. However, Latvia's two previous draws against Montenegro hint that the visitors are not dominant—both teams found it difficult to break through in those earlier meetings. Latvia will need to arrest their recent losing streak and improve their goal-scoring efficiency; Montenegro will aim to continue their upward trajectory with another positive result.
