Latvia vs Wales Prediction & Betting Tips - Euro

Lativa and Wales will meet in a Euro 2024 qualifier that both teams need to win.  The hosts continued their poor run in this group when being beaten 5-0 away in Croatia on Friday evening. Going 1-0 down in just the third minute didn't help them at all and ten minutes later a second goal was added. That result extended their recent record to six consecutive losses. They are the only team in the group that has yet to register a single point in this group. Latvia were beaten 1-0 by this opponent in their opening match of these qualifiers.  They were also beaten 3-2 by Turkey and 2-1 by Andorra in the next two matches. Their form in this competition is in contrast to how they performed at the Nations League, where they finished top of their group. However, that group did feature lower-ranked opponents, such as Andorra and Lichtenstein. Against better-quality opponents in this match, the hosts are the massive underdogs. Only one of their last 24 Euro qualifiers has been won by the Latvians. Three of their games in this group have been away from home. The only game played in Latvia did see them score twice against Turkey so they can be dangerous but just let in too many goals.

Meanwhile, Wales’ qualification campaign has not gone as they would have hoped either. It started well with a last-gasp goal earning them a 1-1 draw in Croatia in their opening match. Then came the win over Latvia, so four points from the first two games. It's all gone wrong for them since then though with two successive losses in this group. They went a goal up at home to Armenia early on but ended up losing that game 4-2. A 2-0 defeat in Turkey followed to put them in real danger of missing out on qualifying for the finals. Their most recent match was a draw with the Korea Republic in a friendly.  With those results, Wales have now managed only one win in their last 13 matches, along with four draws and eight losses. They are now ranked 52nd according to UEFA, which is just four places above San Marino at the bottom of the rankings. The Dragons can't fall back on Nations League form to get into the play-offs. They finished bottom of their group in the 2022-23 tournament without any wins in their six games. They know that getting a win in Latvia is vital if they want to avoid missing out on next year's finals.
