Latvia vs Kazakhstan Betting Tips

Draws with Turkey, Ukraine and Iceland in their last three games are nothing to be ashamed of, but Latvia are in danger of finishing a qualifying campaign without a win. They could hardly have a better chance to correct the record against fellow win-less group members Kazakhstan.

Home advantage has been pretty absent all qualifying campaign though. The only point they’ve given their home fans was a 1-1 draw against Turkey, meanwhile they were thrashed 3-0 by Iceland and 2-0 by Holland.

Kazakhstan drew the opening game of their qualifying campaign 0-0 with Latvia and they surprised Iceland later earning a point there too. They’re an energetic side and they put plenty of pressure on the ball, but all too often that energy isn’t put to best use and they’ve conceded too many goals without possessing the attacking pedigree to match it.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Latvia are better than their record suggests

They’re a better side than their record suggests. They’ve earned five draws through the campaign and they’re ready to pick up a first win.

2. Kazakhstan will make mistakes

They play with energy and plenty of aggression, but they do commit defensive mistakes and we think it’ll cost them in this game.

3. Better than even odds

Latvia to win comes in at 21/20, the possibility of a draw obviously exists, but we think that they’ll find a way to pick up three points here.
