Key stats and predictions for WC Qualification Europe Group Stage between Netherlands and Latvia
It's no vacation for neither Netherlands nor Latvia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Latvia have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Netherlands form and stats
Netherlands participated in WC Qualification Europe the last season, where they reached the 1st round.A goal frenzy last time out for Netherlands, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Turkey. Fun stuff to watch! Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Memphis Depay for missing a penalty kick versus Turkey in the 90th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Netherlands have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 28 games found in the database showing 19 Netherlands wins, three draws and six defeats.
There will be little rest for Netherlands after this match as they are travelling to Gibraltar for a WC Qualification Europe game in only three days.
Latvia form and stats
They also participated in WC Qualification Europe last season. This ended in the 1st round.The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 31 away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with four wins, nine draws and 18 defeats. eleven games were lost by at least two goals margin.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Latvia manager D. Kazakevičs as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Turkey.
