MATCH PREVIEW
Even before the match between Croatia and Latvia, it was clear that Latvia had practically ended their participation in this qualifying cycle. And then, the convincing defeat to Croatia only confirmed that. By chance, we watched that game, and we can say that Latvia’s players on the field looked shameful.
They allowed the opponent to threaten their goal practically with every attack, while in attack, they appeared lethargic and harmless. If it weren’t for goalkeeper Purins, Croatia would have “won” that match 15-0. And no, we’re not kidding.
On the other hand, Wales still has theoretical chances to get involved in the battle for the second spot on the table, considering their three-point deficit compared to Croatia and one more game played than the Croats. Welsh players demonstrated modest offensive qualities and significant defensive vulnerabilities in their first four matches, especially evident in their loss to Armenia.
Wales is on a two-match losing streak, and we should expect their motivation to break this negative streak. Three days ago, they played a friendly match against South Korea that ended in a 0-0 draw, and we can’t say that the Welsh players looked particularly good on the field. They only managed to shoot three times toward the opponent’s goal in 90 minutes, which is certainly not a statistic that would boost their confidence ahead of this much more important duel.

Latvia vs Wales Prediction
The match is much more important for the guests, so we expect them to be more engaged. Vladislavs Gutkovskis will miss this match for Latvia, and since he is the main attacking force of this team, we are not optimistic that the home team can score in this match.
Wales is not particularly offensively dangerous either, so in our opinion, this will be a game where one goal will decide everything. Latvia will try to consolidate their defensive line to avoid another embarrassment, while this will be the first competitive match for Wales in almost three months, so we don’t expect a very intense pace.
The odds of 1.85 from the Unibet sportsbook for the match ending with a maximum of two goals scored have a very good value, and we simply must take advantage of it.
