Latvia hosts Slovenia in round 4 of Euro Qualification. The match will be played on Monday, June 10th at Daugavas stadions (Riga)
As expected, the Latvian national team failed to earn points in the starting games of the qualifying campaign. However, the Latvians managed to amaze with their game in defense. Yes, as a result, 5 goals were conceded in 2 matches; but on the whole, they restrained the onslaught of the opponents quite well. In the away game with the Poles, they managed to keep a clean sheet up to the 76th minute. Poland and North Macedonia delivered a total of 48 shots to the net of Latvia, but neither one nor the other didn’t manage to hammer the Latvians in the end.

After the draw, the Slovenes were called the main rivals of the Austrians in the fight for 2nd place in Group G, but both teams have failed to approve themselves so far. Slovenia has never been famous for its play in the attack, so it managed to score only 2 goals in 2 games of this qualification. The Slovenes actively stormed the penalty areas of their rivals in both games, but in the end, they either failed to convert their attempts or didn’t give a proper pass. Actually, the Slovenes scored no more than 1 goal in the last eight matches in a row. Because of the problems in the attack, Slovenia did not manage to win their Nations League group, and now it is losing points in the Euro qualifying campaign.
Prolific football in this game is unlikely. The Latvians will play defense first and put a bus at their penalty area, if necessary, which will significantly complicate the task of the Slovenes. In the away game with the Poles, Latvia lacked only 15 minutes to eventually earn 1 point. It will be easier for the Latvians to hold back the attack of the Slovenes. Moreover, Slovenia scored 2 goals only in 2 out of the last 15 away matches. What the visitors can do is not to concede from Latvia. In the away games of the past World Cup qualifiers, the Slovenes conceded only one goal from Slovakia, England and Scotland. As for the current qualifying campaign, they failed to keep a clean sheet with Israel and Northern Macedonia, but in general, the team acted in defense reliably. And Latvia is poor in the attack. The Latvians managed to score only 2 goals in 6 games of the Nations League, while they failed to break the defense of Andorra in 180 minutes of playing time.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
