Latvia vs England Predictions, Tips & Latest Odds World Cup Qualifier
England face Latvia tonight, knowing that a win will confirm their place at next year's World Cup.
They're perfect so far in qualifying, five games played, five wins and they're yet to concede a goal too, scoring 13 in the process.
Coming here on the back of a 3-0 home friendly win over Wales, this one means more, but for me, the outcome is going to be pretty similar. Exclusively here on Free Bets, I've got my three tips for tonight's clash.
Tip 1: England Win & Under 3.5 Goals
Kicking us off, I am going with an England win, and under 3.5 goals in the game. I do think England will take this comfortably, but I'm not sure that'll be reflected on the scoreboard come the end of the game.
On top of this, with five clean sheets from five qualifying games, and another in their friendly against Wales last week, England defensively are rock solid in this type of game, enough to make me think that Latvia won't add to the goal contribution.
I think if they wanted to, England could run riot and get five or six here, but instead, they'll look to keep the ball and control the game, after they get ahead.
The stats back this up too, five clean sheets so far, and four out of five games where the under 3.5 goals line has been a winner. (2-0 vs Andorra, 1-0 vs Andorra, 3-0 vs Latvia, 2-0 vs Albania)
Tip 2: Total 2nd Half Goals 0
When trying to work out how England will approach this one, I don't want to go too far back, as I do think Thomas Tuchel is only just starting to put any kind of stamp on this team.
Against Wales, England raced into a 3-0 lead, in just 20 minutes, before keeping the ball, controlling the game and not adding to the scoresheet.
Before that, a 5-0 win over Serbia was 2-0 at half time, England again taking the foot off the gas at this stage. Serbia had a man sent off, and England capitalised, but before the sending off, England were happy to play keep ball again there.
Bigger prices are hard to come by in this game, but this one will do for me. No goals in the 2nd half, when I'm hoping England have things wrapped up, they keep the ball, and the barrage of substitutions means the games completely loses flow.
Tip 3: Correct Score Latvia 0-1 England
My final tip follows a similar path, and again, I'm trying to find value in a game where the football betting odds just aren't there.
I've found something at double figures for the last tip, and that's a correct score bet on England to win 1-0. At 10/1, it's worth a shot, and I do believe that 1-0 is more likely than 4-0 or 5-0 for example.
Of course, favourites in the market are 2-0 and 3-0, which is where I'd agree is the most likely outcome. But at double the odds of those two, from a value point of view, I think 1-0 is the better bet.
I still think England will get out and score in the first half, then all we're doing is hoping that the Latvians can stay firm at the back, and not lose concentration or shape when England have the ball.
