Latvia and Switzerland will meet in a friendly match. Will Latvia be able to resist?
Latvian
At the end of 2020, Latvia took part in the German Cup, where it fought with two teams of the local national team - the main one and Germany (B). They managed to get out of the group with three points: a 4-2 victory over the second team and a 0-2 defeat against the main team. However, in the final match, it turned out to take revenge and win with a result of 3: 2 - the winning goal was thrown in overtime. After that, Latvia played 5 friendly matches, in which it won three victories.
Switzerland
In the last two years, the Swiss have played only five matches, all of them friendlies. In 2020, we met with Germany twice, achieving two victories: 4-2 and 2-1 (after shootouts). This year, Switzerland is already more active, having managed to hold three test matches. Each of them managed to win: 3-1 and 1-0 against Russia, as well as 3-0 against Latvia.
Statistics and figures:
- Latvia has won three of the last five friendly games;
- Switzerland has held three test matches this year and won each of them;
- Switzerland had beaten Latvia in the previous nine head-to-head games.
Forecast
Switzerland is a head stronger, so I don't think Latvia will be able to hold at least a draw in regular time. I bet that Switzerland will win and win the tenth consecutive victory in the face-to-face battles with Latvia.
