Albania vs Latvia Predictions

• Latvia have scored only twice across their first four group games
• Albania have kept three clean sheets in five games in 2025
• The hosts have conceded just 3.1 xG in four group games, despite facing England and Serbia

Blunt visitors to struggle

Albania’s World Cup hopes rest on dislodging the clear top two in Group K, with England and Serbia leading the way. Those two are set to face off on Tuesday night, so this home clash with Latvia is a golden opportunity for the hosts.

Albania are two points shy of second-placed Serbia, having held them to a 0-0 draw at home in June. The home side have been fairly low-scoring this year, with their 3-0 victory over Andorra the only one of their previous five matches to feature more than two goals.

The Albanians have kept three clean sheets across their last five games, while they meet a Latvia side who are struggling going forward. The visitors have scored only twice across their first four matches. Latvia posted a non-penalty xG of just 0.32 in the home meeting between the two, so Albania should be good for another clean sheet.

Despite already visiting England and hosting Serbia, Albania have conceded 3.1 xG across their first four qualifiers. Back them to shut down Latvia in a vital home win.
