¿Cómo llegan ambos equipos?
Latvia’s recent form has been a mixed bag. They’ve managed just one win amidst one draw and three defeats in their last five outings, including a heavy 3-0 loss away to England. Their qualifying campaign so far reflects this inconsistency: one goal scored and three conceded in two matches. Under coach Dainis Kazakevičs, the side must address their attacking struggles to make the most of home support.
Albania, on the other hand, arrives in Riga with growing confidence. A convincing 3-0 victory over Andorra highlighted their attacking potential, and their last five games across all competitions read two wins, one draw and two losses. Coach Sylvinho has instilled both tactical discipline and flair, with three goals scored and two conceded in qualifying so far. An away win here would strengthen their position in Group K.
Nuestras previsiones
Based on recent performances and head-to-head history, our primary prediction leans towards an Albania victory. The visitors have shown sharper form and possess a more clinical edge in front of goal. Their confidence after the Andorra win could prove decisive in breaking down a Latvian defence that has struggled to keep clean sheets.
That said, the historical trend between these sides is one of tight contests—five straight draws in all competitions, including a 0-0 stalemate in their last World Cup qualifier encounter. We also back No Goals for Both Teams given Latvia’s scoring woes and Albania’s solid defensive record. Expect a low-scoring, closely fought battle in Riga.
