Latvia will face the Faroe Islands at the Skonto Stadium on Tuesday in another round of their 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign. The home side kicked off their Nations League campaign with defeat and find themselves rock-bottom in Group 4 with zero points.

Like their opponents, the Faroe Islands have struggled for results in recent games but managed to avoid defeat in their Nations League opener on Saturday. Facing off against North Macedonia at the Tórsvøllur, Landsliðið raced to an early lead with Viljormur Davidsen opening the scoring from the spot before their opponents leveled the scores with a penalty of their own early in the second half.
Faroe Islands sit third in their group with one point from a potential three and will be looking to pick up their first win of the tournament on Tuesday.
