"England will qualify for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico if they beat Latvia tonight. It'll only be a story if they fail to do it. Thomas Tuchel's side are ranked fourth in the world and purring, having recently stuck five past Serbia and three past Wales. They're top of Group K having won all five of their previous matches without conceding a goal."
"One of those victories was this one which was an outcome only to be expected against a side ranked 137th. And it's fair to say Latvia are not in form. They've only won four of their last 31 matches, and those against Armenia, Faroe Islands (twice) and Andorra; they were unable to beat the Andorrans at home last weekend. So chances are England will be rubber-stamping their documents for the Americas this evening."
England can secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup with a win over Latvia tonight. England are ranked fourth and recently beat Serbia 5-0 and Wales 3-0. England top Group K, having won all five matches and kept clean sheets. Latvia sit 137th and have won only four of their last 31 matches, with victories over Armenia, Faroe Islands (twice) and Andorra. Latvia failed to beat Andorra at home last weekend. Betting markets offer long odds for a Latvia upset, and the match kicks off at 7.45pm UK time (9.45pm Riga).
