Latvia vs Serbia Prediction & Expert Tips

Latvia vs Serbia Preview

Latvia will be aiming to turn their recent run of draws into a much-needed win as they continue their journey towards the World Cup finals. The hosts have drawn their last two matches, remain winless in three, and failed to score in two of those outings. Stretching back further, their struggles become clearer, just one win in their last eight games, with three draws and four defeats.

Ranked 137th in the world, Latvia’s home form offers little consistency. They have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six fixtures on home soil. Despite their modest record, the dream of qualifying for the World Cup for the first time remains alive. With the expansion of participating teams, Latvia will feel that their chances of finally clinching a spot are better than ever.

Serbia, on the other hand, arrive in strong form. They are unbeaten in their last six matches, winning two and drawing four. What stands out most about their recent run is their defensive solidity, the visitors have not conceded in their last three games and kept four clean sheets in their last five.

However, their biggest challenge remains their away form. Serbia are winless in their last seven away matches (five draws, two defeats), a record they will be desperate to improve upon. Having qualified for three of the last four World Cup editions, Serbia will be determined to make it four out of five when this qualifying campaign ends.

Latvia vs Serbia Prediction

Serbia are favourites to win this encounter, having shown greater consistency and resilience. They are unbeaten in six matches, with a strong defensive record that makes them difficult to break down. Latvia, in contrast, have only one win in their last eight matches, underlining their struggles both in attack and defence.

We also expect Serbia to keep another clean sheet, given their impressive defensive record of four clean sheets in their last five games. Latvia’s misfiring frontline, failing to score in two of their last three matches, suggests they may once again find it difficult to break through.

Finally, this contest is unlikely to produce many goals. Latvia’s last seven fixtures averaged just 1.7 goals per game, while Serbia’s last six averaged 1.5, pointing to a low-scoring, tactical affair. With both sides leaning on defensive discipline rather than attacking flair, goals will likely be at a premium.
