2026-2027 Nations League: Latvia vs. Armenia, Probable Lineups

Latvia and Armenia will face off on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. at Skonto Stadium in Riga in a match counting toward the final matchday of Group C2 in the Nations League. The standings are now set, with Armenia in third place and Latvia in last, but both national teams still want to end their run in the competition on a high note. The hosts are still searching for their first win in the group, while the visitors will look to repeat their 2-0 victory from the first leg.

Latvia, led by Italian coach Paolo Nicolato, is expected to line up in a 5-4-1 formation. Matrevics will be in goal, while Melniks—who scored a goal in the last match against Montenegro—is expected to start in defense. Daskevics and Ciganiks will play on the wings, with Uldrikis as the lone striker.

Armenia, on the other hand, is expected to field a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mishiev in goal and Harutyunyan and Mkrtchyan at the heart of the defense. Hovhannisyan and Iwu will play in front of the defense, while the trio of Grigoryan, Serobyan, and Shaghoyan will be tasked with supporting Gharibyan. Gharibyan is coming off a goal against Cyprus and had already found the net in the first leg against Latvia.
