Latvia to Win
Latvia have been star performers in Nations League D Group 1 so far, winning 100% of their first four fixtures in the section to establish a five-point lead at the summit. The Latvians are really enjoying themselves and their confidence was evident in June when they beat their nearest challengers Moldova 4-2 in Chişinău. Dainis Kazakevičs’s troops were much the better side that day and they can push for victory again on Thursday when they return to home soil.
Both Teams to Score
Latvia’s clash with Moldova in the midst of the summer was a hugely captivating contest, where six goals were plundered between the sides. Moldova – who have notched in all but one of their four group assignments to date – rattled the net twice despite their eventual defeat and they are capable of finding a consolation effort again in Thursday’s rematch. Latvia meanwhile, have registered in eight of their last nine international fixtures and they are Group 1’s most potent outfit with ten goals. The factors here suggest that backing both teams to score again could be a savvy move.
