Turkey vs. Latvia Tips & Quotas, 30.03.2021 – 20:45 – World Cup Qualification Europe
On Tuesday evening, March 30, 2021 at 8:45 pm, Turkey will welcome Latvia to the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul on the 3rd day of the World Cup qualifying group G. The team from Bosphorus celebrated a perfect start to the qualifying in the last day and gilded the 4-2 opening victory against Holland last weekend with a clear success in Norway. The Latvians did not score points yet, defeated Montenegro at home (1-2) and lost again three days later in Holland. Turkey leads Group G ahead of Montenegro (also six counters). Behind them are Holland (3 points), Norway (3) and Latvia and Gibraltar (each without points).

The national team of Senol Günes was immediately present in Norway and after only three minutes went through Ozan Tufan with 1-0 in the front. The Scandinavians needed something to recover from the early shock. A little later the ball was also in goal, but Sörloth’s goal did not count (11th). A quarter of an hour later, the striker hit the post (26th). On the opposite side, the Turks showed ice cold and increased by Söyüncü to 2:0 (28th). Haaland and Co. did not play badly despite the backlog, but they did not use their shot opportunities. Even before the change of sides, the landlords left further possibilities. In the second period, the visitors made everything clear with the 3-0 after just over an hour through the strong Ozan Tufan (59th). Again, a goal of the Norwegians did not count – Haaland stood aside (63rd). The game was decided and in the final stage Norway’s Thorstvedt flew away with red (79th).
The Günes-Elf is fully on course for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with the second victory in a row in the World Cup qualifying. For the Turkish people, this would be the end of a long thirst. Turkey competed in the last World Championships in Japan and South Korea in 2002 and reached the semi-finals. Almost 20 years ago, the Bosphorus team secured third place against the host in the match for third place (3-2). Previously, they failed in the semi-finals at the later World Cup winner Brazil (0:1).
The EM this year will take place with Turkey. In Group A, Italy, Switzerland and Wales are waiting. After the WEAK Euro 2016 in France with the preliminary round against Croatia (0:1), Spain (0:3) and the Czech Republic (2:0), the Günes-Elf has something to make up for.
Merih Demiral and Zeki Celik fail against Latvia due to injury.

The „Eleven Wolves“ were guests in Holland and could not oppose Orange much. The Elftal was the expected dominant team and was also allowed to play in front of 5000 spectators. The atmosphere was magnificent and got even better with the 1-0 from Berghuis after just over half an hour (32nd). Previously, Klaassen only hit the post (28th) and Luuk de Jong also had to befriend aluminium (41st). In the second round, Holland pushed for the decision, but was offensive but no longer as compelling as in half-time one. Only in the 69th minute did Luuk de Jong release his team with the 2-0. In the final phase Depay also missed two of several other opportunities (78th, 81st). The last possibility actually belonged to the guests from Latvia – Ciganiks hit the post (85th).
Together with Gibraltar, the Kazakevics team is the clear outsider in Group G and is already at the bottom of the table after just two match days. The Latvian national team has never been to a World Cup and will only be spectators in Qatar next year. However, the “Eleven Wolves“ have already played a European Championship – in 2004 in Portugal they were present for the first time and for the last time at a major football event and even scored a point against Germany in the group stage (0:0). Against the Czech Republic (1:2) and Holland (0:3) there were no counters and thus the end after the preliminary round.
Even in the lowest division of the Nations League, Latvians were only in third place (7 points) against teams such as Faroe Islands (Ascended), Malta and Andorra.
From Germany, insiders may know Daniels Ontuzans from the second team of FC Bayern Munich, which plays in the third division. So is the level of play of the Latvian national team in an international comparison. There are no top stars in this team.

Turkey is a very strong favourite against Latvia for the third victory in the third World Cup qualifying game. The eleven from the Bosphorus celebrated a custom-made start against Holland and gilded the threesome against the Elftal a few days later with a clear 3-0 victory in Norway.
