Latvia hosts Poland in round 7 of the Euro qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, October 10th at Daugavas stadions (Riga)
Latvia looks like an obvious outsider in Group G. After six matches, the team is in the last place. It lost all the qualifiers for Euro 2020 and managed to score just one goal. More precisely, Latvia even didn’t score, but it simply has one goal in its account. It happened in the first round when Latvia met with North Macedonia and lost 1:3. The footballer of Velkoski’s team scored an own goal. In general, Latvia has already conceded 21 goals. Accordingly, it already has no chance. The team played the last match in the European Championship qualification with the same North Macedonia in early September. The Latvians lost with a 0:2 score. Before that game, the Latvian team suffered big defeats to Austria (0:6), Slovenia (0:5) and Israel (0:3). In general, there is nothing to be surprised at. After all, the team does not have a single star player. However, the development of football in Latvia is at a very weak level. The team simply has no place to recruit players who could defend the honor of their country. The national team of Latvia has not won 14 matches in a row and sometimes gained only a draw, no more.

Poland played the last match on September 9. It met with Austria for the second time. This time the teams tied without scoring a single goal - 0-0. As for the first match against the Austrians, Polan still managed to win with a minimum 1:0 score. Currently, the Polish team leads the standings of Group G. The Poles are very careful in the attack, and they scored only eight goals in six matches. But at the same time, the team thoroughly thinks about the line of defense. Poland conceded only two goals in six matches. In the penultimate match, the team lost to the Slovenian national team with a score 0:2 score. And before that, Poland managed to defeat Israel - 4-0. Robert Lewandowski (Bayern) and Krzysztof Piatek (Milan) are the team leaders. Both of them scored in that match, and not only. While other teams play attacking football, the Polish team calmly scores a minimum of goals against their opponents. As you can see, such a plan works. The team takes first place and is unlikely to move from there. But back again, that would not be possible with a bad defense. The main players in the defensive line are Tomasz Kedziora (Dynamo Kyiv), Grzegorz Krychowiak (Lokomotiv), Kamil Glik (Monaco), Bartosz Bereszynski (Sampdoria) and Jan Bednarek (Southampton).
The bookmakers claim that the Polish team will win the upcoming match without any problems. There is no need to guess to find out who is the favorite in this match. Latvia cannot win already 14 matches in a row, and it already says a lot. Poland is a strong team with an experienced squad. And the level of football in this country is hundreds of times higher. Therefore, the Polish team will surely gain a confident victory.
Prediction for the match: Poland to win with -2.5 handicap
