Latvia welcomes Moldova today at the FC Skonto stadium, with whom they will decide who will take the first place in the group and ensure promotion to a higher rank. Latvia is in very good shape, they have scored 10 goals so far, and it is interesting that both goals they conceded were the work of Moldovan footballers. While the standard of opposition might not have been the strongest, Latvia began their current unbeaten run with a draw in Norway and, having endured a tough period in recent years, are now beginning to turn the corner. Scoring 11 goals in wins against Liechtenstein (twice), Andorra, Azerbaijan and their opponents here, Moldova, Latvia, will be confident of maintaining their winning form. Moldova, in contrast, remains one of the lowest ranked UEFA nations in the FIFA rankings, having won just 3 of their last 36 international matches. Now arriving in Riga 5 points behind Latvia, only a win will do for Moldova if they are to have any chance of catching the hosts but based on recent form, we expect Latvia to have too much quality, and a home win is expected. Given the visitors' need for 3 points, a fairly open and entertaining contest can be expected, particularly given that 6 goals were scored in their last meeting earlier this year. Vladislavs Gutkovskis and Janis Ikaunieks will lead the home team's attack and they will probably decide the outcome of this match considering that they scored 7 of the 10 goals of their national team. Therefore, bet falls on Latvia to win this game and secure promotion.

My prediction;

Outcome: Latvia to win
