Latvia – Portugal Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (09.06.2017)

Prediction for Latvia – Portugal

Over 2.5 goals @ 1.41

At the Skonto Stadions in Riga, the Portugal team is ready to visit the humble Latvia team with the slogan to remain close to the Swiss leader in a match that corresponds to Group B of the European Qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup.

Latvia

Latvia has lost its last five international games, four by qualifying and one friendly which was against Georgia now last, where in four of them could not score in goal.

Those led by Marians Pahars currently have 3 points in five games and are not coleros of the group because there is Andorra selection which has been the only one that has won in these qualifiers and was for a poor score of 0-1 .

His home games do not give much guarantee losing to Hungary and Faroe Islands by 0-2.

For their part, those led by Fernando Santos know the importance of winning this match, currently are three points less than Switzerland and the idea is to reach this distance until their direct confrontation with them, since the idea is not to return to Play play-offs to reach the World Cup.

Portugal

The Portuguese have only lost a game of their five games by qualifying and it was in the debut against Switzerland that beat him by 2-0 from there in more all have been victories, and now in Latvia which is his second exit since the first Was against Faroe Islands who beat him by 0-6 hope to continue down that road.

As for direct clashes Portugal has won the 5 games over Latvia in its history, but in 3 of them Latvia has managed to score even a goal. The last game that played these selections was in November with victory for the lusos 4-1.

No one can deny that despite being a favorite to win the match is Portugal, is the European champion and has a great difference of level its players compared to Latvia, but its share is somewhat low although could well be used to increase The value of a combined but we believe that this game is special to keep the fence unbeaten, as the Confederations Cup is coming and you need all the lines in your point especially the defense, not for something against Cyprus won without receiving goal And now against a Latvian who also has trouble scoring goals we are confident that the defensive sector is the best, so we are going to the option that Both Teams Do not Score.
