- Venue: Wembley Stadium (London)
England doesn't have real competition for first place in Group K, so they should secure another World Cup appearance. The second-best team in the group is probably Serbia, but they have not been playing well since the previous World Cup, and it is hard to imagine a big turnaround. England are in good form, with four wins in a row. In the World Cup qualifications opening round, Thomas Tuchel's team won 2-0 at home against Albania. The guests were never close to making a surprise against the home side, as England ended the game with an xG of 1.58, while the guests had only 0.06.
Latvia's only appearance at the major tournament remains in EURO 2004, which is unlikely to change soon. Latvia ended 2024 with four games without a win in a row, but they opened the World Cup qualifications with a 1-0 win on the road against Andorra. Although the guests won, they could hardly be satisfied as Paolo Nicolato's team created xG of only 0.47. We should expect Latvia to sit deep on their half on Monday at Wembley and try to make a miracle and avoid defeat against mighty England.
England vs Latvia pick: Under 3.5 goals
England didn't allow any goals in the last three matches. On the other hand, Latvia scored only four goals in the previous six games. England will dominate, but they have not been pushing too much toward goals lately, so under 3.5 goals should be a suitable bet for this tie.
England team news
England won 2-0 against Albania, but the head coach, Thomas Tuchel, wasn't fully satisfied. He said, "We can do better; we have to do better. We started well; we had seven or eight minutes with 100% ball possession with a lot of passes, and high energy. The opponent is hard to break down as they defend in a deep block. In the Euros [last year], they managed to not concede chances. In the second half, I felt we were too slow and, in general, did not make enough runs off the ball to get behind the line."
Debutants Dan Burn and Myles Lewis-Skelly surprisingly started against Albania and should continue to start after both impressed.

Latvia team news
Even before match against Andorra, Latvia's head coach Paolo Nicolato talked about the game at Wembley Stadion against England. He said, "Right now, it's vital to understand which players can play for the NT. This is not about technical qualities but about the desire to fight. The match at Wembley Stadium will help to perfectly understand this quality."
