Cyprus vs Latvia Prediction




Cyprus welcomes Latvia to the AEK Arena in Larnaca on Thursday for their UEFA Nations League match. Both teams will be looking for their first points in the competition.
Cyprus lost 2-0 to Northern Ireland in their opening match, while Latvia lost 3-0 to Kosovo. Cyprus will be hoping to bounce back from that defeat and get their first points on the board. They will be confident of doing so, as they have a good record at home. They have won their last three matches at the AEK Arena, scoring eight goals and conceding none.
Latvia, on the other hand, will be looking to continue their good form on the road. They have won their last two away matches, scoring five goals and conceding none. They will be confident of causing Cyprus problems, especially if they can get their key players on the pitch.
Key Players
Cyprus will be looking to their captain, Pieros Sotiriou, to lead the line. The 29-year-old striker has scored 13 goals in 42 appearances for his country. He will be supported by Loizos Loizou and Fotis Papoulis, who have both been in good form for their clubs this season.
Latvia will be looking to their talisman, Arturs Zjuzins, to inspire them to victory. The 33-year-old midfielder has scored 10 goals in 59 appearances for his country. He will be supported by Janis Ikaunieks and Roberts Uldrikis, who are both dangerous players in attack.
Prediction
This is a tough match to call. Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses, and it could go either way. However, Cyprus has the home advantage, and they will be confident of getting their first points on the board.
