Latvia and Armenia return to action in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers when they go head-to-head at the Skonto Stadium on Thursday (October 12).
The hosts failed to stop the rot last time out as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Wales at the Skonto Stadium. Dainis Kazakevics’ side are one of six sides who have lost all their qualifiers this campaign.
They have lost their last seven games across competitions since November 2022, when they beat Estonia on penalties in the Baltic Cup. Latvia, who are 136th in the FIFA rankings, are rooted to the bottom of Group D, having lost five games.
