Latvia vs Austria Prediction & Betting tips
Latvia and Austria play their last group match against each other. The Austrians do not travel at full strength to the Baltic country.
Latvia:
A dramatic qualification series is almost over for Latvia. The small country was of course not a serious candidate for a starting ticket for the European Championship in advance of the qualifying group, but the fans had expected something more from their team. After nine games the counter is still at zero points. Last Saturday, things went wrong again for Latvia, although the damage, while visiting Slovenia, was limited. In Ljubljana, 1-0 was lost.
For national coach Slavisa Stojanovic it was a special game on Saturday, as he was previously responsible for the Slovenian national team. Stojanovic announced that Saturday’s game was the best of his team from this series, along with the game against Poland, which was played in March (2-0). Latvia has something to make up for Tuesday’s match against Austria. In September the Letten lost the away match against this country with no less than 6-0.
Austria:
Austria managed to qualify for the 2020 final round on Saturday. The team of coach Franco Foda knew that they could force a ticket in the home match against Macedonia. With the exception of a sloppy final phase, Das Team played a strong game. By goals from David Alaba and Stefan Lainer, the win was deserved (2-1). After nine duels with nineteen points, the Alpenland is in second place in the group, and can no longer be overtaken by the competition. For the third time in history, the Austrians go to a European Championship.
Foda said he would not travel to Latvia with all his players. No less than seven players can skip this match from their national coach. For example, the spectators in Riga will not see players such as Marko Arnautovic, David Alaba, Martin Hinteregger and Marcel Sabitzer on Tuesday. Maximilian Wöber has been summoned by Foda, but it is striking that no attacking substitutes have received a late invitation.
