Andorra vs Latvia prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Nations League 2022-23
Andorra host Latvia at the Estadi Nacional in their capital, Andorra La Vella, on Sunday, looking to end their Nations League campaign on a high.
With only seven points from five games, the Tricolours are in third place of Group 1 in League D, with the prospects of promotion long over.
Yet, Koldo Álvarez's side put up an encouraging display to beat Liechtenstein 2-0 in their last outing.
Latvia, meanwhile, must equal or better Moldova's result from the other game to seal passage to League C.
The 11 Wolves currently lead their rivals from eastern Europe by 12 points to 10, although it could've been over by now had it not been for their shock loss on Thursday.
Moldova picked up a shock victory in Riga to blow the race wide open, but Latvia still have the advantage and must avoid a defeat in Andorra to qualify.
Andorra vs Latvia Head-To-Head
Latvia have never lost to Andorra in their previous 10 clashes, winning seven and drawing thrice.
The 11 Wolves are on a two-game winning run in the fixture too, including a 3-0 thrashing of Andorra in the June reverse of this season's Nations League.

Andorra vs Latvia Prediction
Latvia have been the best team in their group. Following a shock loss to Moldova on Thursday, they should be able to return to winning ways here.
Andorra, aside from a few promising glimpses, have blown hot and cold and might not withstand Latvia's attacking firepower.
Prediction: Andorra 0-2 Latvia
