Turkey to comfortably keep in the race for qualification
Turkey are eager to showcase their mastery in this one, as they focus on continuing their pace to qualify for the Euros. With the likes of Cengiz Under and Hakan Calhanoglu in their squad, they are big favourites to win in this one, and it’s hard to envision any other outcome.
They will be missing the talented youngster and recent Real Madrid addition, Arda Guler, due to an injury. Nevertheless, given the talent in their squad, this shouldn’t pose too much of a hurdle, unlike the last time the two met when it took a 95th-minute winner to earn all three points in Latvia.
Currently without any points in the qualification, Latvia faces an uphill battle to secure a result from the match, especially with having nothing to play for.
Lacking any household names, it is not surprising they have only scored three goals, but conceded thirteen in just five games. Additionally, they haven’t celebrated a victory since their match against Estonia in November 2022.
Turkey will feel confident playing at home, and will be determined to avoid any unexpected setbacks in their pursuit of a top-two finish which is where we start our tips.
Turkey vs Latvia Bet 1: Turkey to win by 4 or more goals @ 27/10
Hakan Çalhanoğlu to get on the scoresheet
29-year-old Hakan Çalhanoğlu has extensive experience representing both club sides and country in his career. The midfielder has played for the likes of Bayer Leverkusen, AC Milan and now Inter Milan, playing key roles in each team.
Çalhanoğlu is among the most seasoned players for Turkey, playing for each of their u16s, u17s, u19s, u20s, u21s levels. He has now made 80 appearances for the senior team, scoring 17 times. Playing predominantly as an attacking midfielder, he still shows the skill of finding the back of the net every time he plays.
Latvia’s defence will likely find it challenging to handle the attacking talent of Turkey. With 13 goals already conceded in just five games, several players could get on the scoresheet, and Hakan Çalhanoğlu will be optimistic about his chances against a smaller nation.
As mentioned earlier, many players could score if Turkey play well. Çalhanoğlu is eager to contribute and help Turkey reach a top two spot in the group, securing their qualification.

Kristers Tobers to be carded
In 2023, Latvia haven’t won a single game. In qualification games before the Armenia game on Thursday, they accumulated 16 yellow cards, along with a red one. They’re usually the team to avoid in UEFA qualifiers tips.
Kristers Tobers, currently playing his football at Grasshoppers Club in Switzerland, is one of Latvia’s more notable players. In the five qualification games so far, Tobers has missed only four minutes and has picked up three yellow cards during that period.
As a defensive midfielder, Tobers will be swamped in the midfield. With Latvia averaging only 31% of possession, they’ll be at a disadvantage against a Turkish side, likely aiming to dominate ball possession. If the game unfolds as anticipated, Tobers might find himself making crucial tackles. Should he misjudge one or two, it wouldn’t come as a surprise to see him accumulate more cards.
Latvia will likely struggle against Turkey, and when that is the case teams are likelier to pick up more cards, and Tobers might be a prime candidate to receive one.
