Netherlands vs Latvia Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup
by Daniel Ngulu | in World Cup Predictions
Netherlands had a poor start to their campaign in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, losing 4-2 to Turkey on Wednesday. They’ll be back in action on Saturday, hosting Latvia in Amsterdam. At some point in the match, the Dutch trailed 3-0 but they put up a spirited second half fight to get to 3-2 before conceding a fourth goal. Memphis Depay missed a late penalty but even that would not have guaranteed them three points against a well oiled Turkey team. To be able to rise from this, the Dutch must first fix their defence; they may be missing a few defenders in the side but it has been happening for a while and they go to this game without a clean sheet in five matches. They’ve managed just one clean sheet in the last eight matches and this has made most of their efforts in attack go without the desired impact. Netherlands have failed to score in just three of their last 10 matches and their last three matches have yielded over 2.5 goals. the Dutch are unbeaten in their last two home matches, the last one a win over Bosnia in November, but they have no clean sheet in the last four home matches. With six wins in the last 10 matches at home, and three straight wins in World Cup qualification matches at home, the Dutch should have a more comfortable way out here.
Latvia are ranked 136th, a massive 122 places below Netherlands but they will with all the audacity hope to slap a second shock on the Dutch after their experience in Turkey. That will be a tough task in itself, with Latvia coming from a 2-1 loss to Montenegro. In that game, Latvia led for about a minute and should have felt they deserved a point but Stevan Jovetic’s late goal handed their visitors three points. Now the visitors head to this fixture having won just two of their last nine matches, and these have come against weak opposition – Andorra, ranked 151st and San Marino, ranked 210th. Latvia have two clean sheets in their last five matches but only three wins in the last 27 matches. They’ve lost eight of their last 10 World Cup qualification matches and in the last four away matches in World Cup qualifiers, they have three losses and a draw. This match is heavily titled against Latvia, who head here with just one win in 11 away matches in World Cup qualifiers.

Our Netherlands vs Latvia Prediction
Netherlands go to this game on a low after their loss in Turkey, but they can recover from it with a win here. After failing to make it to Russia in 2018, the Dutch must be having jitters after that defeat, and being in a difficult group. They however have a good run at home and meet a Latvia side with a poor away record in World Cup qualifiers. A comfortable outing is in line for the Dutch thus back this to end in a Netherlands lead at half time and full time.
