Israel vs Latvia Prediction & Betting tips
In the Austria Group G, the first decision was made on Sunday evening. Top favorite Poland fixed the ticket for the upcoming European Championship with a hard-fought 2-0 home victory against Macedonia. Austria also took a big step towards qualifying thanks to their success in Slovenia. The eighth round of Group G will be concluded on Tuesday evening with the duel between Israel and Latvia!
In the camp of the Israeli, the euphoria has long since disappeared after the strong start and now there is pure disillusionment. In theory, Israel could come with three wins on 17 points and thus pass on Austria (16 points), but for Austria should get in the November double no point.
Israel will miss another big event and must use the match against Latvia to finally return to the road to success. The game starts on Tuesday at 19:45.
Israel:
Israel scored seven points in their first three qualifiers. The Austrian leaders around team boss Andreas Herzog were especially cheered for the victory against their homeland. The dream of the first major event got a lot of food, but now outweighs the disappointment that the good starting position could not be used.
In the last four qualifiers, there was only a meager point in the 1-1 home draw against Macedonia, the remaining three games (all away games) were lost. Once again presented the defensive as too error-prone. In the three away games, the Duke Elf had to cope with no fewer than ten goals. Some of them definitely had to be classified in the “cheap” category.
The weak defensive can not be concealed by the convincing offensive – or rather by Eran Zahavi. The China Legionnaire is the life insurance in the game of the Israelis. No fewer than ten of the twelve goals scored in this qualifier were scored by Zahavi.
Also in 1: 3 against Austria, he was successful with a brilliantly placed long shot. Not surprisingly, the bookmakers expect a successful bet on a hit by the attacker on Tuesday night between Israel and Latvia.
The striker did not save after the 1: 3 defeat with criticism of their own performance. Once again, Israel dropped a lead counter. There is a feeling that leadership often inhibits the Israelis.
The home game against the previously inferior taillight should now serve as a motivator. Accordingly lucrative appears between Israel and Latvia, the prognosis for a handicap victory. According to the latest results, Herzog will demand from his team to go to great concentration until the end!
Latvia:
The feeling of winning a competitive game? Fans of the Latvian national football team will hardly remember it. On October 10, 2017, Latvia was able to win a competitive match for the last time.
In the course of the World Cup qualifiers, the team won the home game against football dwarf Andorra 4-0. Since then, there was only one more victory at the Baltic Cup against Estonia. Otherwise, defeated by and large defeat to defeat.
In the newly created UEFA Nations League, the Latvians took third place behind Georgia and Kazakhstan and just before Andorra (both games against the dwarf ended in a draw this time).
With the beginning of the European Championship qualification Latvia could not even look forward to a draw. The seven previous games were all lost, while Latvia was only in the first game against Macedonia (1: 3) to score a goal. In the last six international matches, there were each bankruptcies without own hits.
Just because of this fact, on Tuesday evening between Israel and Latvia seems to be a prognosis that both teams will not meet. The guests from the East are currently in Europe certainly one of the weakest national teams. The defensive repeatedly throwing hair-raising mistakes and in the game forward are hardly coherent actions to recognize.
Latvia, current number 134 in the FIFA World Ranking, has only eight legionaries in the squad. The majority earn their money in the home country and the Latvian league is not competitive in international comparison.
The weak results come as no surprise and even in Israel is expected to defeat. The last away win is more than three years old, so we do not see a realistic chance that a bet on the double chance (X2) or even victory will be promising between Israel and Latvia.
