Latvia vs England prediction 14.10.2025 | World Cup qualifications

Latvia have only one appearance at the major tournament (EURO 2004). It was always clear that Paolo Nicolato's side would face an uphill battle in this World Cup qualifying group, and after six rounds, they have already lost all chances of finishing among the top two. Latvia are without a victory in the previous six games, including friendlies. In the most recent outing, Nicolato's team played 2-2 at home against Andorra. The home side was a significant favorite, but they showed too little against one of the weakest European teams.

After a draw against Andorra, Latvia's head coach, Paolo Nicolato, was disappointed. He said, "Sometimes the luck just isn't there, but we have to keep creating chances. My frustration is with the way we started: too many sloppy passes that disrupted everything – transitions, positioning, intensity. That's something we must fix."

Although England are one of the best teams in the world, they have only one major trophy in their long history. England are one victory away from another World Cup, where they will be one of the favorites to lift the trophy. England are in good form as they have won nine of the last ten matches. In the previous game, Thomas Tuchel's team won 3-0 at home in a friendly against Wales. The home side started the match furiously, scoring all three goals in the opening goals, so the guests never had a real chance of avoiding defeat.

England's manager, Thomas Tuchel, is very satisfied with his team recently. After a win against Wales, he said, "We are nearly playing like a club team - very flexible, but staying true to our structure. Everyone buys into their role and is ready to do invisible work and help each other. I am very happy with the next step."

Jarell Quansah is injured and will not play on Tuesday in Latvia.
