Latvia vs Andorra prediction 11.10.2025 | World Cup 2026 qualifiers

Latvia returns to home soil after a narrow 1:0 defeat in their most recent World Cup qualifier against Albania last month. Kristjan Asllani's first-half penalty secured a hard-fought home win for the Albanians. 

Since winning their first Group K fixture against Andorra earlier this year, Paolo Nicolato's side have picked up just one point while losing three of four qualifiers, including a 1:0 home defeat against Serbia in September. 

Still, with Andorra their opponents on Saturday, the Sarkanbaltsarkanie will fancy their chances of claiming the spoils. Latvia won 3:0 when they last hosted Andorra three years ago. 

Latvian boss Paolo Nicolato has a 28-man squad available this week. Raimonds Krollis and Roberts Uldriķis remain long-term injury absentees for the home nation.

Andorra return to World Cup qualification action still searching for their first points in Group K after a 2:0 defeat against England last month. Despite a spirited display, the Tricolor fell to a fifth successive defeat.

A lack of firepower remains the biggest issue for Andorra, who have failed to score in all five of their World Cup qualifying defeats in the past year. 

Much improved defensively, a low-scoring encounter seems likely this weekend. Andorra conceded an average of two goals per game in Group K, while only two of their last 13 games finished with over 2.5 goals scored.

Head coach Koldo is likely to stick with the same XI that began last month's 2:0 defeat against England. Experienced midfielder Marc Vales is poised to win his 102nd cap.
