Austria hosts Latvia in round 5 of Euro qualification. The match will be played on Friday, September 6th at Red Bull Arena (Salzburg)
Even 2 victories in the last 2 rounds of qualification, due to the 2 defeats preceding them (in Israel and to Poland at home), allow the Austrians to occupy only 3rd place in the group. There is 1 point behind the 2nd place, occupied by the Israelis. However, Austria will certainly say its word. And for a start, it will take 3 points from Latvia.

Latvia is one of the 3 republics of the former USSR that made its way to the final stage of the European Championship. But it happened at the Euro in Portugal. After that, the Balts only lost their positions. In the FIFA ranking, they already moved to the 134th place. Not they play a draw with Andorra and even lose to Gibraltar. The Latvian national team is 90 percent staffed by local players. And rare legionnaires play in clubs from Poland, Switzerland, Ukraine, Slovenia. And not in the strongest ones. So, the conclusion about their qualification suggests itself.
There is no doubt that Austria will win this match. Its squad is many times more powerful. Most players play in the clubs of the German Bundesliga and represent Hertha, Eintracht, Bayer, and Leipzig. The question is how the hosts will do it. Surely, the game will be very scoring. Based on the situation in the group, the team may have to count the goal difference at the end of the tournament. And the difference of the Austrians is 7-6. On whom is the balance to be adjusted in a positive direction, if not on the team that has already conceded 13 goals in 4 matches. The Austrians have players know how to score. Just look at Arnautovic who scored a double in the net of Macedonia in the last round. In Shanghai, where he plays now, he scored 4 goals in 5 matches. So, the audience will surely see a spectacular and scoring match, in which Austrian fans will rejoice the victory of their team. Opponents met 5 times. 3 victories of Austria. And in 4 matches, there were more than 2 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Austria to win and Over 2.5 goals scored
