Armenia welcome Latvia to the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium for a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers match on Monday night. Armenia would be aiming for back to back wins in this competition for the first time since 2019 when they play host to Latvia tonight, after they recorded an impressive 4-2 away win over Wales on Friday thanks to braces from Grant-Leon Ranos and Lucas Zelarayán. That game was not expected to be a six-goal thriller due to the home side's tendency to keep things tight in Cardiff. It was their first win in all competitions in over a year. They trail Group D leaders Turkey by just three points and have one game in hand. Meanwhile, Latvia, whose late 3-2 defeat by Turkey sees them rooted to the bottom of the group rankings. Kristers Tobers thought his 94th-minute equaliser had secured a point in Riga, only for Irfan Can Kahveci to score a minute later for the visitors to snatch the win right at the end. I am expecting a win or a draw for Latvia for the following reasons:

Firstly. The defeat against Turkey was the successive home game for Latvia against the same opponent that had produced a late winning goal for the Turks, Burak Yilmaz scored a 99th-minute penalty in a World Cup qualifier in October 2021, but Friday's was a more painful one. They are yet to secure a point after two games, with the latest defeat leaving Dainis Kazakevics's team without a point from six available. This game against Armenia is a make or break game for them, as a loss would almost definitely put them out of the race for the Euro Qualification. Tonight's game is of utmost importance to them.

Secondly. Armenia are 4th in Group D, three points above Latvia who currently occupy last place. Armenia couldn't make it into the top three in each of their last two UEFA EURO Qualifiers. But a win over Latvia tonight would place them on the second position with Wales and Turkey facing off in Group D's other game. Armenia were fantastic against Wales on Friday night, but they are still lacking a lot in defence. It was their eighth consecutive game that they did not keep a clean sheet. Motivated by the win over Wales, they will be seeking for a result against Latvia as well.

The Armenians have struggled in their recent games but produced a remarkable performance in their previous outing against Wales. The visitors as well put up a good fight against Turkey last time around and are expected to produce another strong display in this match. They are yet to concede a goal against the Armenia. Latvia will seek to exploit the lapses in the Armenians' defence, and considering the importance of this game to them, they will be extra-dangerous. So, I will be expecting a win or a draw for Latvia tonight.

周一晚上，亚美尼亚欢迎拉脱维亚来到瓦兹根·萨尔基相共和国体育场参加2024年欧洲杯预选赛。今晚，亚美尼亚将主场迎战拉脱维亚，目标是自2019年以来首次在这项比赛中取得背靠背的胜利。上周五，在格兰特-莱昂·拉诺斯和卢卡斯的帮助下，亚美尼亚客场4-2大胜威尔士，令人印象深刻Zelarayán。由于主队倾向于在卡迪夫保持紧张状态，这场比赛并没有被期望成为一场六球惊险赛。这是他们一年多来首次在所有比赛中获胜。他们仅落后D组第一土耳其队3分，还少赛一场。与此同时，拉脱维亚在小组赛最后阶段以3比2不敌土耳其，目前排名垫底。克里斯特斯·托伯斯本以为他在第94分钟扳平比分的进球为里加锁定了一分，但一分钟后伊尔凡·坎·卡维奇的进球帮助客队在最后时刻夺取了胜利。我预计拉脱维亚会赢或平局，原因如下:

首先。对阵土耳其的失利是拉脱维亚连续在主场对阵同样的对手，他们曾在2021年10月的世界杯预选赛中为土耳其人创造了最后的制胜进球，布拉克·伊尔马兹(Burak Yilmaz)在第99分钟打进了一粒点球，但周五的比赛更加痛苦。两场比赛后，他们还没有拿到一分，最近的一场失利让丹尼斯·哈萨克维奇的球队在六场比赛中没有得到一分。这场对阵亚美尼亚的比赛对他们来说是一场成败攸关的比赛，因为输球几乎肯定会让他们退出欧洲杯预选赛。今晚的比赛对他们至关重要。

其次。亚美尼亚目前在D组排名第四，比目前垫底的拉脱维亚高出3分。亚美尼亚在最近两届欧洲杯预选赛中都没能进入前三名。但如果今晚战胜拉脱维亚，他们将排在第二，威尔士和土耳其将在D组的另一场比赛中交锋。亚美尼亚在周五晚上对阵威尔士的比赛中表现出色，但他们在防守方面仍然欠缺很多。这是他们连续第八场比赛不失球。在战胜威尔士的激励下，他们也将在对阵拉脱维亚的比赛中取得胜利。

亚美尼亚人在最近的比赛中表现不佳，但在之前对阵威尔士的比赛中表现出色。客队在上一回合对土耳其的比赛中也打得很好，他们希望在这场比赛中再次表现出色。他们在对亚美尼亚队的比赛中还没有失球。拉脱维亚将试图利用亚美尼亚防守的漏洞，考虑到这场比赛对他们的重要性，他们将会格外危险。所以，我期待拉脱维亚今晚的胜利或平局。
