Montenegro's two straight wins

Mirko Vucinic's side go into this one on the back of back-to-back Nations League victories. They beat Cyprus 2-1 at home on 25 September, then went to Armenia four days later and won 3-2. That Armenia result matters here, because Armenia are the same side who beat Latvia 2-0 in their previous outing - Montenegro took three points from a trip where Latvia couldn't take any.

Further back, Montenegro's spring and early-summer friendlies were mixed: a 2-0 win over Andorra, a 2-3 defeat to Slovenia, a 1-0 win over Bulgaria and a 2-2 draw with Slovakia. The competitive form, though, is what they bring into Riga - two wins, five goals scored across the pair.

Latvia have gone two games without scoring

Paolo Nicolato's side head into the fixture off a goalless draw with Cyprus on 28 September, three days after losing 2-0 away to Armenia. Neither match produced a goal for Latvia. Before that run, in March, they beat Gibraltar home and away, 1-0 both times, so this camp has been a sharp drop-off in output compared to the last window.

Latvia sit opposite a Montenegro side that has scored in every game this autumn. The head-to-head form going into kick-off is as one-sided as the fixture allows: wins and goals for the visitors, a draw and a defeat with nothing scored for the hosts.
