Latvia and Armenia meet in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday 15 November 2026, and this page sets out predicted line-ups and team news for both sides. With no injury or suspension on record for either team, the selection question is less about who is missing and more about whether the starting eleven from the most recent match will hold up.
Latvia Predicted XI
Latvia are projected to line up in a 5-4-1, the preferred shape of head coach Paolo Nicolato. The projection rests on a single recent line-up, so it is tentative rather than firm. Eleven players started that match, which makes the side a settled side – 11 of the projected XI started their last match. No individual start count stands out beyond that one appearance, so the eleven is best read as a picture of who played last time rather than a longer pattern.
Latvia predicted XI: Rihards Matrevics; Dennis Cirkin, Oskars Vientiess, Antonijs Černomordijs, Raivis Jurkovskis, Deniss Meļņiks; Eduards Daskevics, Andrejs Cigaņiks, Dmitrijs Zelenkovs, Lukass Vapne; Roberts Uldriķis

Predicted Armenia Line-up
Armenia are also projected in a 5-4-1, matching the preferred shape of head coach Eghishe Melikyan. Like Latvia, this is built on one recent line-up only, so treat it as tentative. Ten of the eleven projected starters began that match, making it a settled side – 10 of the projected XI started their last match. Erik Piloyan is the exception among the back line: he did not start the match used here, so he is the least certain of the eleven.
Armenia predicted XI: Aleksandr Mishiev; Artem Bandikyan, Georgiy Harutyunyan, Styopa Mkrtchyan, Nayair Tiknizyan, Erik Piloyan; Ugochukwu Iwu, Karlen Hovhannisyan, Artur Serobyan, Zhirayr Shaghoyan; Artur Gharibyan

Injuries and Suspensions
For Latvia, no absentees are recorded in the data. Nothing thins a particular line, so the projected back four, midfield and forward line can be picked from the same group that started last time. The Latvia bench has no starts in the match used here, so any change would be a first real test of those options rather than a like-for-like swap.
For Armenia, no absentees are recorded in the data either. Narek Grigoryan is the only Armenian bench player with a start in the match used here, which makes him the best placed to come in if the staff makes a change in the team news ahead of kickoff.
Where These Predictions Come From
Both projections are built from the most recent line-up for each side, using the single match on 12 November 2026 as the base. Where more matches are available, recent games count for more than older ones, but here only one line-up exists, so no weighting between matches is possible. Players confirmed injured or suspended are removed from each side, and no one was removed on either side. These are projections that can change when the official team is announced.
