Latvia vs England Prediction, 1:45 a.m. October 15: Straight to World Cup 2026

TPO - Football commentary on the match Latvia vs England, World Cup 2026 qualifiers taking place at 1:45 a.m. on October 15. Winning another victory against Latvia, coach Thomas Tuchel and his team will officially participate in the 2026 World Cup as the top team in Group K.

Prediction before Latvia vs England match

In Group K, the "Three Lions" are at the top with 15 points. Coach Tuchel and his team have won all 5 matches, scored 13 goals and have not conceded. If they beat Latvia, England will have 18 points, creating a 7-point gap with the second-placed team (Albania) and will be sure to advance to the World Cup finals in the US, Mexico and Canada.

On the other hand, Latvia has only won 5 points after 6 matches. From the beginning of the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign in Europe, Latvia was predicted to have little chance of advancing when falling into a group with England, Serbia and Albania. With the current situation, Latvia's chance of advancing is less than 10%.

Must beat Latvia to quickly decide the place at the 2026 World Cup, that is the message from coach Tuchel. Harry Kane is ready to play in this match. Compared to the friendly match against Wales, the adjustment of Rashford and Kane starting will help the "Three Lions" have optimal strength at the present.

The home advantage is too little for Latvia to have a basis to gain points against England. With nothing left to lose, Latvia must win to keep alive the slim hope of securing the 2nd place in Group K. This promises to open up an open game with many goals.

Form, head-to-head record Latvia vs England

Tuchel's team easily beat Wales 3-0 at home on October 10. Since EURO 2024, England's form has been stable. Although the Three Lions' performances have been unconvincing at times, they have still achieved their ultimate goal of winning the matches they needed to win.

Latvia did not play too badly in the World Cup qualifiers. They drew with Albania in their opening match, then lost to Serbia, then lost to Albania by the minimum score. In their most recent match in Group K, Latvia drew 2-2 with Andorra. The team must blame themselves for the unfortunate drop in points, especially the 2-2 draw with Andorra.

Latvia vs England squad information

Difficulties piled up for Latvia when they did not have the services of key striker Robert Uldrikis and midfielder Kristers Tobbers.

Expected lineup Latvia vs England.

Score prediction: Latvia 0-3 England.
