Latvia hosts Montenegro in round 1 of the World Cup Qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 24th at Skonto stadions (Riga)
The Latvian national team has finally turned into one of the football dwarfs and often trails far behind its opponents in qualifications. You can easily assess the level of the team by its game in the Nations League. The Latvians played in the weakest division and took only third place in the group, lagging behind Malta and the Faroe Islands (only one victory, the same number of defeats, and four draws. Of course, the Latvian national team is not on the list of candidates for the progress from the group. Their maximum is to take the penultimate place and outrank Gibraltar.

By all appearances, the Montenegrins should have been strong middle peasants, but they are too unstable and seriously fail at times. They completely failed qualification for Euro 2021, finishing last in their group. But in the Nations League, Montenegro managed to win its quartet in Division C, overtaking Luxembourg, Azerbaijan, and Cyprus. Yes, the list of opponents is not formidable, but they will be much more serious in the next draw. Everything is in the hands of the Montenegrins, as they can show their best qualities against each opponent. The main thing is to avoid serious failures and not lose points with outsiders. Turkey and Norway are also far from sinless.
The opponents have met only twice in history, and both games were friendly. The last match took place recently, in October last year. Then the teams tied 1-1, and the Montenegrins escaped defeat only in added time. We agree with the bookmakers who consider the visitors as favorites of the upcoming game. Montenegro really looked more interesting in their last games and has a better squad. The match may turn out to be difficult, but we suggest betting on a clear victory for Montenegro.
Prediction for the match: Montenegro to win
