Slovenia hosts Latvia in round 9 of Euro qualification. The match will be played on Saturday, November 16th at Stadion Stožice (Ljubljana)
Slovenes lost the last two matches and slipped to the fourth line, but they still have mathematical chances of getting out of the group. To do it, the team must win the final rounds. Actually, the Slovenes beat the Israelis at home, having managed to score three goals. But the main victory of Slovenia was gained over Poland, and it was dry. Finally, the Blue-Whites dealt with Latvia away without any problems, and they were winning 4-0 by the end of the first half.

Ten years ago, Latvia fought for a ticket to the World Cup, and it took part in the final stage of the Euro in 2004. Since then, the results of the national team have only waned. The Wolves can even complete the current qualifying campaign with a zero in the box of points. And if you take into account the upcoming matches of the Latvians, an anti-record will certainly be set. Football in the Baltic countries regresses. Currently, there is not a single player in the Latvian national team playing in the top European leagues. Most of the players perform in the championship of Latvia, where the speed is significantly lower. As a result, the Wolves do not take out the pace of rivals and quickly sag physically in matches at a different level (in European competitions or qualifying campaigns).
Latvia managed to score only three goals in the last seven away games. And even if the Latvians looked faded in the attack on their pitch, they will hardly succeed in Slovenia as well. The hosts scored at least one goal in nine of the last 11 official games. The attack of the Slovenes was the most zealous in the match with Latvia, in which they delivered as many as 20 shots on goal. They will play so actively in a home match with the Latvians either. Therefore, the visitors who have lost 15 of their last 18 matches in the qualifying campaigns with a difference of two goals or more will surely be defeated again in Slovenia.
Prediction for the match: Slovenia to win with -2.0 handicap
