Latvia national A football team takes on the visitors Switzerland national A football team at "Skonto Stadium" round eight of the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The match will be played in Riga on Sunday, September 3rd.
Latvian football is dead. Not just dying but dead. The county's clubs are knocked out in early qualifying rounds on the Eurocups while the national A team has already lost eight encounters in a row with 3-22 aggregated score since the 7th of October 2016. Last Thursday the Latvian team was defeated 1:3 by Hungary on the road. After seven gameweeks played, Latvia settles on the last place in the Group B with three points earned and 3-15 goal difference, sitting behind such non-football countries like Andorra and Faroe Islands.

On the contrary, the Swiss have not been broken since the 3rd of June 2016 across 13 consecutive matches covering 10 triumphs and three draws. Switzerland's winning series is counting for eight clashes and has started on the 6th of September 2016. Moreover, the Swiss team has not only lost its encounters long time ago, it hasn't even conceded any goal across last 450 minutes of football. With seven matchdays of the qualifying competition behind, Vladimir Petkovic's side has 21 points gained with 15-3 goal difference and the team will definitely not take any place lower than the second one.
Switzerland had difficulties in defeating Latvia with 1:0 scoreline at the home field in the first lap. Nevertheless, I believe that the Swiss will manage to win at away turf and extend their winning run stepping towards World Cup final stage.
Prediction for the match: Switzerland to win.
