Latvia vs Gibraltar: prediction & betting odds 31 March 2026

Latvia National Team Form

In the first leg, Latvia secured a narrow win (1:0), giving them an advantage ahead of the return match. In the Nations League, the team performed poorly – four points and bottom spot in the group, where they conceded an average of almost two goals per game. However, against outsiders of Gibraltar’s level, Latvia’s player quality is still higher. Despite the victory, the performance raised questions: over the entire match, the hosts registered just two shots on target. It is also worth noting that this win was the Baltic side’s first in their last five matches in the competition.

• Across 12 home games in the Nations League, the national team have recorded three wins (four draws, five defeats).
• Latvia have scored in six of their last seven home matches in this tournament.
• Latvia have conceded at least one goal in seven of their previous nine Nations League fixtures.

Potential Latvia National Team Lineup (4-5-1)

Rihards Matrevics – Andrey Tsyganik, Roberts Savalnieks, Raivis Jurkovskis, Roberts Veips – Deniss Melniks, Renars Varslavans, Dmitrijs Zelenkovs, Lukass Vapne, Janis Ikaunieks – Vladislav Gutkovskis

Gibraltar National Team Form

Gibraltar were close to earning a draw in the first leg, losing only because of a penalty goal (0:1). In their Nations League group, the team did not lose, but the level of opposition there was noticeably weaker. The main problem for Scott Wiseman’s men is their away matches. In their last 11 Nations League games on the road, the team have scored only four goals, while conceding 21 over the same period. Now, however, they need to score at least once simply to take the tie to extra time, but there are huge problems in attack.

• Across 11 away matches in the Nations League, the national team have recorded two wins (three draws, six defeats).
• At least one team failed to score in nine of Gibraltar’s last 11 away matches in this tournament.
• No more than two goals were scored in six of Gibraltar’s previous seven Nations League games.

Potential Gibraltar National Team Lineup (5-4-1)

Jaylan Hankins – Kai Mauro, Ethan Jolley, Jayce Olivero, Bernardo Lopes, Kian Ronan – James Scanlon, Graeme Torilla, Nicholas Pozo, Julian Del Rio – Jayden Bartolo
