Turkey vs Latvia Prediction & Betting Tips - Euro

Prediction published on 15/10/2023, 06:27  by Daniel Ngulu in Euro Predictions

Turkey will be looking to secure their Euro 2024 ticket when they host Latvia in Group D on Sunday. Coming into this game the hosts lead the group on 13 points while Latvia are bottom on three points. Coming from a crucial away 1-0 win in Croatia, Turkey could need just a point in this game to qualify. They also have the option of getting to Germany 2024 through the playoffs, but it is more realistic through the groups. Baris Yilmaz scored the all-important goal, capitalizing on a defensive error and the Turks held on. For the first time in three matches, they managed a clean sheet, while they rarely fail to score. In their last 10 matches, the hosts have failed to score just once – in a 2-0 loss to Croatia. In seven of those 10 matches, both teams scored, and the defence will be a major area of focus here. Turkey are unbeaten in their last four matches in this group, but conceded six in six matches. In their first meeting with Latvia, these weaknesses showed in a 3-2 win

This fixture isn’t known for many clean sheets, and neither for wins. Latvia have one win over Turkey in eight matches, and Turkey have two. The visitors come into this game without a win over Turkey in the last seven meetings and the fixture has just one clean sheet in eight matches. Like Turkey, Latvia are coming from a win, beating Armenia 2-0 to end a six-game run without a win. That was also their first clean sheet in 10 matches. Meanwhile, Latvia have failed to score in just three of their last 10 matches. In six of their last 10 matches, both teams managed to score. Despite their consistency in attack, Latvia don’t have a great run in Euro qualifiers. The win over Armenia was only their second in 27 Euro qualification matches. They’ve lost 20 of the 27 matches.
