Latvia – Turkey : Preview & Prediction
Unable to win their last 6 direct encounters (1 win and 5 draws), Latvia will have their work cut out again against Turkey! Latvia, only 132nd in the world, began the Euro 2024 qualifiers with a 1-0 defeat by Wales on March 28. This latest setback follows 2 previous defeats to Iceland (1-1, 7 tab 8) in the Baltic Cup final, and to Ireland (2-3) in a friendly. The group’s bottom team in these qualifiers, Latvia will have to battle with Armenia to avoid last place. Turkey, on the other hand, are aiming to qualify for the next European competition, and are currently 1 point behind the leading duo of Wales and Croatia. The Turkish national team fell at home to Croatia (0-2) at the end of March, having just beaten Scotland (2-1), the Czech Republic (2-1) and Armenia (1-2) in Yerevan on Matchday 1 of the qualifiers. German coach Stefan Kuntz will be looking to put his side back on the winning track… A win at Riga’s Skonto Stadions is a strong possibility for Turkey.
