Latvia vs Turkey Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th June 2023

Latvia go up against Turkey on Friday in a game played out at Daugava Stadium. We are entering the third round of the group stage in the European Championship with both very eager to add points to their tally. Turkey ran out 1-2 winners the last time these two rivals played each other and are definitely planning to claim three points again on Friday.

After the first two matches of the group stage, Latvia are number five on zero points, while Turkey have three points as number three. Turkey are taking on number 43 in the FIFA world ranking, with the home side sitting as number 132.

Latvia won't make it out of this group, but they may be able to snatch a few points, which would be seen as a victory for them. Turkey's prospects of claiming top spot in their group look promising, as it appears to be a two-team race. Even if they don't take first place, they should never be in danger of not qualifying.
