Preview
Latvia come into this after a 1-0 win over Azerbaijan in their previous friendly clash in March 2022.
Gutkovskis scored for the visitors in that one as they picked up a second win in three matches.
The hosts are undefeated since October 2021 and will look to continue the good show where they have managed to see off teams without much pressure.
On the other hand, Andorra beat Grenada 1-0 at home in a friendly match earlier this year where Bernat’s second half strike proved to be enough.

Successive friendly victories over St Kitts and Grenada have Andorra in good form as well ahead of the Nations League campaign.
Liechtenstein and Moldova complete this group due to which a good start is mandatory if progress is the objective.
In the last 6 matches, Andorra is yet to win a single one over Latvia. As a result, Latvia come in with this advantage as well. (W 3, D 3)
Both sides last met in November 2020 during the Nations League 2020 where Latvia won 5-0 away from home.
Ikaunieks scored twice alongside goals from Cernomordijs, Gutkovskis and Krollis to ensure a massive victory.

Prediction: Latvia 2-0 Andorra
Latvia has the form and advantage of being unbeaten. Hence, we see gaining a comfortable win to kickstart their tournament.
Andorra has conceded 5 and scored 3 in their last 4 matches, due to which consistency is lacking.
