Latvia vs Latvia Match Analysis & Prediction
11/09/2023 9:45 pm
The bottom two sides in Group D will meet at the Stadions Skonto in Riga on Monday, when Latvia host Wales in Euro 2024 qualifying.
Latvia are still pointless in the group, while Wales have been massively disappointing and have a mountain to climb if they are to get back into contention.
Nine defeats from their last 11 Euro qualifying home matches illustrates Latvia recent struggles, and zero points from their opening four matches of this campaign has them out of contention already.
A 5-0 defeat in Rijeka at the hands of Croatia on Friday was the lowest point of the campaign so far, one which has been full of late heartbreak.
After making three of the last four major tournaments, Wales are now in serious danger of missing out on next summer’s Euros.
A victory in the reverse fixture against Latvia on the opening matchday remains their only win in 13 internationals.
A disastrous June saw Rob Page’s side lose a lot of ground in Group D mainly due to a surprise 4-2 defeat at home to Armenia, which was followed up by a loss in Turkey.
Taking just one point from their six Nations League matches last year and a group stage exit at the World Cup was the start of Wales’ spiral.
Wales are six points behind Turkey, who are favourites to finish second, and still have a game in hand and have to face the Crescent Stars at home.
