Latvia will welcome Wales in the Skonto Stadium for the ongoing UEFA Euro 2024 Championship qualifiers in the Group D clash. Both sides languish at the bottom of Group D. Latvia is still pointless in their group which leaves them in a precarious condition. While Wales have been massively disappointing and have a mountain to climb. The Welsh side will look to become contenders after their 2016 Euro performance.
Ever since reaching Euro 2004, Latvia have consistently struggled. While finishing fourth and fifth was commonplace, Latvia is now in great danger of becoming one of the continent’s whipping boys. Nine defeats from their last 11 Euro qualifying home games illustrate their recent struggles. A 5-0 thrashing in Rijeka at the hands of Croatia on Friday night was the lowest point of the campaign so far, one which has been full of late heartbreak. The Latvians have lost all their last five encounters. Added to that, Wales just might prove to be a little difficult opposition.
However, when it comes to performance the same can be said about their upcoming opponents Wales. The Dragons are now in serious danger of missing next summer’s Euros. A win in the reverse tie against Latvia on the opening matchday remains Wales’ only win in 13 internationals.Wales are six points behind Turkey, who are favourites to finish second. However, they still have a game in hand and still have to face the Crescent Stars at home. The Dragons have to play extraordinary and without their talismanic forward Gareth Bale to put any realistic challenge against top teams like Turkey.
Latvia’s probable starting lineup: Purins, Savalnieks, Cernomordijs, Dubra, Sorokins, Jaunzems, Emsis, Tobers, Ciganiks, Uldrikis, J Ikaunieks
Wales‘ probable starting lineup: Ward, Roberts, Rodon, Mepham, B Davies, Williams, Ramsey, Ampadu, Wilson, Johnson, Moore
