Latvia now has a fairly young national team, and they have already achieved some success. The Latvians finished 1st place in their group in the last Nations League and qualified for League C. The national team is composed mainly of players from the domestic league, although some of them have had some good experience with internationals. Janis Ikaunieks has shown some promise at the French Metz, while Marcis Oss has managed to play in Switzerland. Some key players are now in Poland, and Robert Uldriksis is with Dutch Cambuur. It is true that recently the national team has been without stars: the current unbeaten streak is six games. At the start of the qualifying process, Latvia lost to Wales 0:1. In that meeting, they had eight shots on goal but created only one more or less decent chance. The defeat was quite logical.
Turkey
The Turkish team has been a consistent contender for places in the final stages of the top tournaments, but they lack the stability to reach the next level. The team failed to qualify for UEFA EURO 2020, came one step short of qualifying for the World Cup, and suffered their first home defeat in this year's qualifying. After a 2:1 away win over Armenia, they suffered a 2:0 loss to Croatia. The Turks deserved better, but they failed to seize their chances. Their defensive play was far from ideal, so conceding goals was logical. Cenk Tosun and Enes Unal were fielded against the Croatians.
Expert Betting Tips
The Turkish team looked good even in the defeated match, but they still need to improve their chances. The Latvians put up a decent performance in March and should have the opportunity to score at home. Previous head-to-head encounters between the teams have been productive, with the spectators seeing as many as six goals in one contest. The visitors' attacking line has been reduced, but they can replace Unal and Tosun. Latvia has a good attacking line-up, with Raimonds Krollis as one of their leaders.
