Command Analysis
Armenia
The Armenian national team has not been showing any success lately. In qualifying for the World Cup, they managed to win only one victory - at home over Ireland (2:1). The remaining five matches ended in defeats. In the League of Nations, the team remained in the C League, losing in the play-off matches to Georgia. (0:3, 1:6). This year, the Armenians have played three friendly matches and have not won a single victory. First, Egishe Melikyan's team lost to Belarus (1:2), and then drew with Kazakhstan (1:1) and Moldova (1:1).
Latvia
The Latvian national team participated in the play-off matches of the League of Nations in March this year. The team managed to avoid relegation to the D-League by beating the Gibraltar national team in two matches. (1:0, 1:0). In the selection for the World Cup, the guests took the penultimate place in their group, ahead of only Andorra. In the summer, the Latvians took part in the annual Baltic Friendly Cup, where they suffered two defeats. First, Paolo Nicolato's team lost in a penalty shootout to Lithuania, and then lost to the Faroe Islands (0:1).
It cannot be said that the Armenian national team has a significant advantage over Latvia, but nevertheless the match will take place in Yerevan, and the home advantage can greatly help the Armenians to win. Over the past three years, the rivals have played four face-to-face matches against each other, and three of them ended with Armenia's victory. The hosts will probably win this time too.
