Wales to Win and Lead at Half time
While Wales is without a win in their last nine games, they enter this match after drawing with Croatia away from home, thanks to a late, late goal. Meanwhile, Latvia was free in the first round, but they did lose to Ireland in a friendly game 3-2.
Given that Wales is hosting the game and that Latvia is one of the weakest teams in Europe, our first Wales vs Latvia prediction is for Wales to win the match and lead at half time.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
Although we can see Wales winning this game and leading at half time, we don't expect to see many goals in this match. The home team will be looking for a win, but they don't really have offensive firepower to score many goals, even against Latvia.
On the other hand, Latvia will go out on the pitch with one goal in mind – not conceding for as long as possible. So, our second Wales vs Latvia prediction is for the game to go under 2.5 total goals.
