The Netherlands missed the 2018 World Cup and have learnt well from that, as they are now firm favorites to book an automatic slot from Group G of the qualifiers. They lead the group with 13 points ahead of their trip to Latvia on Match Day 7. Hosts Latvia are not doing so well; in their last five matches they have just one win and three losses. They go to this game having drawn 0-0 with Montenegro, the second straight game they failed to score in. Latvia have conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches and have failed to score in three of their last five matches in World Cup qualification. In the five World Cup qualification matches, they’ve conceded two or more in three and at home, in the qualifiers, they’ve lost three of five as well, and kept just one clean sheet. Their only wins in the last five World Cup qualification matches at home have been against Gibraltar and Andorra, very weak teams. They suffered a 2-0 loss away to the Dutch in their first meeting in this group.

The Dutch started their qualification campaign really poorly, but have been able to grow with each game and go here in a very good position. They have two straight wins and three in five, and they’ve scored three or more goals in three of their last five matches, only failing to score in one of the five. Three of Netherlands’ last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they have two clean sheets only in the five games. They are coming from a very convincing 6-1 win over Turkey as they head to this game and in their last 10 away matches in World Cup qualification, they’ve won five. In the 10 away matches in World Cup qualifiers, they’ve scored two or more goals in six and they face a side they’ve beaten in all four meetings before, while keeping clean sheets in the four games.
