Match Overview
The EURO Qualifiers will witness an interesting game between Latvia and Croatia at the Skonto Stadium in Riga on 18 November. Croatia will hope to dominate the game from start to finish and put Latvia out of their misery. This game will end up being hopelessly one-sided and Croatia will hope to emerge as the winner by the end of the evening.
Key Highlights
Latvia are hardly supposed to challenge the hegemony that Croatia have and one can expect the latter to make quite a few changes in their side. Croatia will look to give opportunities to some of their youngsters and make sure that they try to get as many minutes under their belt as possible. Latvia's defenders will have to be on guard throughout this game.
Injury Report
Eduards Emiss has been suspended for Latvia, and will not be available for selection in this game. For Croatia, Bruno Petkovic is a doubtful starter. He is expected to come back from his hamstring injury in mid-November.
Prediction
We expect Croatia to win this game by quite a comfortable margin. Having won the last three games that they played against Latvia, Croatia will feel that they have an upper hand over them. Add to the fact that Croatia's star-studded midfield is willing to have a say in this and unlock Latvia's defence, and we have a cracker of a game on our hands, despite how lopsided it promises to be.
