Latvia vs Wales Prediction & Betting Tips (11 September)

Latvia and Wales meet on Monday, September 11th, at 7:45 pm, at the Skonto Stadium, in Riga, in a game from the sixth round of group D, qualifying for the 2024 European Championship, in Germany. Group D is led by Turkey with 10 points, followed by Croatia and Armenia, both with seven. In fourth place is Wales, with four points, and in fifth and last place is Latvia, with zero points. Latvia lost this past Friday in Rijeka, against Croatia, 5-0, in a practically one-way game. The Latvian team thus recorded their fourth defeat in four games in this qualification, with a balance of three goals scored and 11 conceded. In fact, they are on a run of five consecutive defeats, having lost four of the last ten games when they were at home with four wins; two draws.

Wales played a friendly game on September 7th, having drawn 0-0 against South Korea. The Welsh lost the last two games played for this qualification, with Turkey 2-0, and Armenia 2-4, but before that they had beaten Latvia 1-0, and drawn with Croatia 1-1. However, their most recent record is not positive, with just one win in the last ten games and six defeats; three draws, and as a visitor they have not won for six consecutive games four defeats; two draws, which shows their current moment well. In the history of clashes between the two, Wales have won both so far, the most recent in March 2023 1-0, and the other in 2004 0-2. Will Latvia beat Wales this time?
