Switzerland vs Latvia Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
This Saturday brings us new opportunity to place our bets and collect some cash. Latvia plays away against Switzerland. It will be great match and Switzerland is red hot as they know only about victories in current qualifiers.
Switzerland is in first position after four rounds played. Their latest opponent was Faroe Islands and Switzerland won it as expected 2:0. Match before that one they played against Andorra away and visitors won it but it was close 1:2. Match against Hungary was loaded with goals and tension but Switzerland eventually won it 2:3. First match in qualifiers they played at home versus Portugal and they recorded spectacular victory 2:0. Swiss national team has four wins so far. Average number of goals in their home matches is three. Their attackers are scored at least two times in every match. Last two victories were not convincing but we believe that they are favorites in match versus Latvia.
Latvia has one win, no draws and three losses in group B and they are in fifth place. Latvia opened European qualifiers with minimal victory against Andorra 0:1. Next match shocked entire nation when they lost at home against Faroe Islands 0:2. Next disappointment came in match versus Hungary which they also played at home and lost 0:2. Last match, Portugal vs. Latvia, won host routinely 4:1. Latvia plays better football away then at home as they recorded only points in away match. Their attackers scored less than one goal per match on average. They conceded eight goals and average number of goals is under 2.5. Latvia is basically written off in these qualifiers and they may decide to play open football and bring joy to their fans but that is not the smartest thing one can do against first placed Switzerland.

Switzerland vs Latvia: Head-to-head
The previous meeting between the two sides was during the 2010 World Cup qualification campaign. Switzerland were surprisingly held to a 2-2 draw in the second leg at Latvia. But the Swiss escaped with a narrow 2-1 win in the home leg.
Switzerland vs Latvia: Prediction
With form and abundance of quality in their side, Switzerland are expected to brush aside Latvia for a fifth consecutive win. Latvia are expected to sit back and defend to avoid a humiliation. But the Swiss won’t mind it, they know how to break the toughest of defences.
Expect the home team to make a racing start to the match and take a healthy lead inside the first 45 minutes. Looking at the vulnerable defending of the Latvians, they are most likely to lose this by a heavy margin.
