Latvia will face Turkey in a Euro 2024 qualifying match on Friday. Latvia suffered a 1-0 defeat against Wales in their first Group fixture, while Turkey lost 2-0 at home to Croatia in their previous match. Before that Turkey won in Armenia. Despite having played one game less than Wales and Croatia, the top teams in the group, Latvia is already playing catch-up in the race to qualify for the European Championship next year. Latvia's 1-0 loss to Wales was expected, considering Wales' strong home record in Euro qualifiers, where they have won 9 games and drawn 3 since their defeat to England in 2011.In their upcoming match, Latvia will be back on their home turf, aiming to get back to winning ways and level on points with the team they are hosting. However, their history against Turkey is not promising at first look, with a winless streak of six games in all competitions, although five of those matches ended in draws! Latvia's recent form in Euro qualifying has been poor, as they have suffered 11 defeats in their last 12 fixtures. This statistic gives Turkey confidence at first look as they look to bounce back from their loss to Croatia but it will be far from easy job. Latvia's coach, Dainis Kazakevics, is likely to rely on many players from their previous defeat against Wales, employing a preferred 4-4-2 formation. Vladislavs Gutkovskis, who was involved in 11 goals for his club Rakow in the previous season, is expected to start up front, supported by Roberts Uldrikis.Turkey, on the other hand, is anticipated to switch to a 4-2-3-1 formation, having used a 3-4-3 against Armenia in their previous match. Main player Calhanoglu were with Inter in CL finals so might be tired. The last meeting between Latvia and Turkey ended with a late winning goal, preventing a sixth consecutive draw between the two nations. A score draw smells as a likely outcome but even if hosts lose by one we still have halfwin.

拉脱维亚将在周五的2024年欧洲杯预选赛中对阵土耳其。拉脱维亚在小组赛第一场比赛中0 - 1不敌威尔士，而土耳其在上一场比赛中主场0 - 2不敌克罗地亚。在此之前，土耳其在亚美尼亚获胜。尽管比小组头名球队威尔士和克罗地亚少踢了一场比赛，但拉脱维亚已经在争夺明年欧洲杯的资格上奋起直追。考虑到威尔士在欧洲杯预选赛上的强劲主场战绩，拉脱维亚0 - 1负于威尔士是意料之中的。自2011年输给英格兰以来，威尔士在欧洲杯预选赛上取得了9胜3平的战绩。在即将到来的比赛中，拉脱维亚将回到他们的主场，目标是回到胜利的道路上，与他们的东道主球队追平积分。然而，他们对土耳其的历史乍一看并不乐观，在所有比赛中有六场零胜，尽管其中五场以平局告终!拉脱维亚最近在欧洲杯预选赛中的表现不佳，他们在过去的12场比赛中遭遇了11场失利。这一数据乍一看给了土耳其信心，因为他们希望从输给克罗地亚的比赛中恢复过来，但这绝非易事。拉托维亚的主教练丹尼斯·哈萨克维奇(Dainis Kazakevics)很可能会使用上一场输给威尔士的比赛中的许多球员，采用他们喜欢的4-4-2阵型。古特科夫斯基在上个赛季为拉科夫俱乐部打进11球，预计将在罗伯茨·乌德里基斯的帮助下首发。另一方面，土耳其在上一场对阵亚美尼亚的比赛中使用了3-4-3阵型，预计将转换成4-2-3-1阵型。主力球员卡尔汉奥卢随国米参加了欧冠决赛，所以他可能会很累。拉脱维亚和土耳其之间的最后一场比赛以一个最后时刻的制胜球结束，阻止了两国连续第六次战平。一场平局听起来像是可能的结果，但即使东道主输了一分，我们仍然有一半的胜利。
