Latvia will welcome Wales to the Skonto Stadium in the group stage of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers on Monday night. The hosts' poor form continued on Thursday as they fell to a 5-0 away loss to Croatia. They have lost all four games in the qualifiers thus far and are at the bottom of the Group D standings. To secure one of the two qualification spots from the group, they'll need to win their remaining four games. Latvia are still pointless in the section, while Wales have been massively disappointing and have a mountain to climb if they are to get back into contention. The Welsh will play their first qualifier in the international break on Monday as they played a friendly against South Korea on Thursday. The friendly ended in a goalless draw as both teams played cautiously to avoid any unnecessary injury and fatigue to the players. The visitors have suffered defeats in their last two games in the European qualifiers and will look to return to winning ways. After making three of the last four major tournaments, Wales are now in serious danger of missing next summer's Euros; making this a must win for them. I am expecting a win by some margin for Wales for the following reasons:

Firstly. Once again, through this cycle of qualifications for the European Championship in this case, Latvia proves that it is one of the worst European football national teams. Apart from the fact that they lost all 4 matches in the competition, the last of them was convincing and difficult 5-0 loss against Croatia. Nine defeats from their last 11 Euro qualifying home games illustrates their recent struggles, and zero points from their opening four games of this campaign has them out of contention already.

Secondly. After making it through to three of the last four major tournaments, Wales are now in serious danger of missing next summer's Euros. A win in the reverse tie against Latvia on the opening matchday remains Wales' only win in 13 internationals. The Dragons began their Euro 2024 bid with an encouraging draw with Croatia and they claimed a 1-0 home win over Latvia, but back-to-back defeats to Armenia and Turkey mean they are playing catch-up. Despite that though, a draw between Turkey and Armenia on Friday was a slice of good fortune, so they now must capitalise. Wales are six points behind Turkey, and they do have a game in hand.

Latvia look dead and buried already in the section, so Wales must take advantage to get themselves back among the sides challenging for the top two. With Latvia's defensive troubles, having conceded 10 goals in their last three games, Wales should be able to win this game by at least two goals margin.

拉脱维亚将在周一晚上的2024年欧洲杯预选赛小组赛中欢迎威尔士来到斯科托体育场。东道主的糟糕状态在周四继续，他们在客场0 - 5负于克罗地亚。到目前为止，他们在预选赛中输掉了四场比赛，在D组排名垫底。为了确保小组两个出线名额中的一个，他们需要赢得剩下的四场比赛。拉脱维亚在小组赛中仍然毫无意义，而威尔士则非常令人失望，如果他们想重新进入竞争行列，还有一座山要爬。威尔士将在周一进行他们在国际比赛日的第一场预选赛，他们将在周四与韩国队进行一场友谊赛。友谊赛以0比0的平局结束，两队都小心翼翼地比赛，以避免球员不必要的受伤和疲劳。客队在最近的两场欧洲预选赛中都遭遇了失败，他们希望能回到胜利的道路上。在参加了过去四届大赛中的三届之后，威尔士现在面临着错过明年夏天欧洲杯的严重危险;让这场比赛成为他们的必胜。我预计威尔士会以一定优势获胜，原因如下:

首先。再一次，通过这次欧洲杯资格的循环，拉脱维亚证明了它是欧洲足球最差的国家队之一。除了4场比赛全部输掉之外，最后一场比赛0 - 5负于克罗地亚队是一场令人信服且艰难的比赛。最近11场欧洲杯预选赛主场的9场失利说明了他们最近的挣扎，而本赛季前四场比赛的0分已经让他们出局了。

其次。在过去的四届大赛中，威尔士三次晋级，现在很有可能无缘明年夏天的欧洲杯。在揭幕战对阵拉脱维亚的比赛中取得的胜利是威尔士在13场国际比赛中唯一的胜利。龙之队以令人鼓舞的战平克罗地亚开始了2024年欧洲杯的申办，他们主场1-0战胜了拉脱维亚，但背靠背输给亚美尼亚和土耳其意味着他们正在追赶。尽管如此，周五土耳其和亚美尼亚之间的平局是一种好运，所以他们现在必须好好利用。威尔士落后土耳其6分，他们还少赛一场。

拉脱维亚看起来已经被埋在小组里了，所以威尔士必须利用这个机会重新回到争夺前两名的行列。拉脱维亚在最近三场比赛中丢了10球，由于防守问题，威尔士应该能够以至少两球的优势赢得这场比赛。
