Latvia and Andorra will face off on Saturday in a crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier, where a victory is essential for either team to keep their tournament hopes alive.
Andorra enters the match at the bottom of UEFA qualifying Group K, having failed to secure a point with only three games remaining. To have any chance of advancing, they must achieve their first-ever win against Latvia, a team they have not defeated in 12 previous meetings.
Latvia is positioned one place above Andorra with four points and still has a mathematical chance of clinching a second-place play-off spot. The team’s campaign includes a 1-0 away win over Andorra in March, which extended their unbeaten streak in the fixture.
England has all but secured the top spot in the group, leaving Albania and Serbia as the current front-runners in the race for second. For Latvia, the upcoming match in Riga represents a critical juncture; anything less than a win could prematurely end their World Cup aspirations.
