Analysis and forecast for the match on the 5th qualifying day for Euro 2024 Croatia – Latvia (09/08/2023)
Club football took a breather, giving way to the qualifying matches for Euro 2024. For September 8, seven matches of the fifth day of the group stage of the tournament are scheduled. In one of them, Croatia will host Latvia at the Maksimir stadium in Zagreb. The starting whistle will sound at 21:45 Moscow time.
Spertsyan and Tiknizyan will squeeze out all the juice:
Eduard Spertsyan and Nair Tiknizyan will do everything for the team. But won’t there be any at Euro 2024?
In recent years, the Croatian national team is firmly on the list of winners of international tournaments. He won silver at the World Championships in Russia and bronze in Qatar. Furthermore, in the recent Nations League draw, it was a shame to miss out on gold, losing in the final match against Spain (0-0, 4-5 on penalties).
All this was achieved by the “ardent” under the leadership of the experienced Zlatko Dalic. Not everyone likes the defensive style that the specialist prefers to use. But this strategy regularly allows checkers players to win points and beat even the toughest opponents.
In the last 27 matches of all official tournaments, the Croatians only suffered four defeats and six draws. During this period, they conceded 20 goals and scored 44. The leader of the national team, Luka Modric, played an important role in the success.
Spalletti will take Italy to Euro 2024:
Luciano Spalletti will leave Ukraine without Euro 2024. And Harry Kane is aiming for leadership.
The midfielder announced that he would end his career in the national team at the end of the 2022 World Cup, but after the match for third place he changed his mind. Despite his age, Luka is in good shape and has no plans to leave Real Madrid. Dalic very skillfully combines his skill and experience of other veterans of the national team with the speed and fighting spirit of young and promising players.
Latvia is not as strong and successful as Croatia. There are no players in their squad who play at club level in teams from the top 5 European championships. Most of them play in local champion clubs, whose level is quite low.
Therefore, the only thing that Latvia can boast of is the victory in the Nations League group. The level of the rivals was low, so Dainis Kazakevich’s team did not have any problems. In six games they only lost against Moldova (1-2) and drew away from home with Andorra (1-1).
Thus, the “11 Wolves” received the right to play in the play-offs for the right to reach the final round of Euro 2024. The good news ends there. The red and white lost in all three qualifying matches. First they lost to Wales (0-1), then to Turkey (2-3) and Armenia (1-2).
However, the Latvians have something to praise. Although the reserves are very limited, they are still missing a lot. In the last 19 games played in all official tournaments, Kazakevich’s team conceded more than two goals per game only twice. They themselves scored 36 goals during this period, but almost all of them were against obvious outsiders.
Therefore, the best betting option seems to be a victory for Croatia with a score of 1:0, 2:0 or 3:0 with an odds of 2.04. Three out of four direct confrontations ended like this. On the eve of the next match, there is even less reason to expect a high performance from the Croatians.
Messi continues playing for the national team:

The fact is that the meeting with the Spanish team was remembered not only for the final result. UEFA punished the Ladies team by holding a home match without spectators due to discriminatory behavior by fans.
The Ardents will definitely miss the support of their home fans. Without fans in the stands there will not be the atmosphere and celebration that Luka Modric deserves. However, there is still more to come. It is very likely that the midfielder will delight us with his performance at Euro 2024.
Prediction and bets for the Euro 2024 qualification match Croatia – Latvia September 8, 2023
The Croatian team is the clear favorite. It has a much higher class of players than Latvia. I think Dalic will play defensively as usual and get a landslide victory. The ladies will of course miss the support of the fans, but this should not affect the final result. The “11 wolves” concede relatively few goals, but they themselves rarely score in matches with strong opponents. The history of head-to-head confrontations suggests that the “fiery” will win 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0. This time we also recommend betting on this result.
Tender: Croatia victory by 1:0, 2:0 or 3:0 with an odds of 2.04.
