In my opinion Croatia is clear favorite of this match and should be able to make comfortable win with at least 3 goals difference. -2.5 AH looks like very good option to play.

Croatia is at least one class above Latvia in terms of quality, potential and ambitions. Croatia have clear goal – qualification into Euro and they have to win such matches against lower rank opponents without any excuses. For sure they have big motivation to win front of home crowd. Croatia dropped points in opening match at home against Wales (1:1). I expect much more focused team on the pitch today. Latvia lost three matches in a row and they are without even slim chances to achieve something in this group.

Croatia for sure will dominate the game and they should have ball under control. In first match at home against Wales they had 67% ball possession. I expect even higher numbers today. Latvia had 28% ball possession on away against Wales, 33% against Armenia on away and 30% at home against Turkey. Croatia should be able to create a lot of chances to score.

I believe Croatia have enough quality to score minimum 3 goals today. They showed big firepower 3 months ago against Netherlands when they scored 4 goals (3.26 expected goals scored). Latvia today will play without their first goalkeeper Steinbors. It’s huge blow and should have very bad impact on their performance.

I can’t imagine any other result than comfortable win for hosts. +70% ball possession and +3 goals scored.

在我看来，克罗地亚显然是这场比赛的热门，他们应该能够以至少3球的优势轻松取胜。-2.5 AH看起来是个不错的选择。

克罗地亚在实力、潜力和雄心方面至少比拉脱维亚高出一个级别。克罗地亚有明确的目标——晋级欧洲杯，他们必须在没有任何借口的情况下赢得这样的比赛。当然，他们有很大的动力在主场赢球。克罗地亚在首场主场对阵威尔士(1:1)的比赛中失分。我希望今天的球队更加专注。拉脱维亚连输三场比赛，他们在小组出线的机会渺茫。

克罗地亚肯定会统治比赛，他们应该控制住球。在主场对阵威尔士的第一场比赛中，他们有67%的控球率。我预计今天的数字会更高。拉脱维亚客场对阵威尔士时控球率为28%，客场对阵亚美尼亚时为33%，主场对阵土耳其时为30%。克罗地亚应该有能力创造很多得分机会。

我相信克罗地亚队今天有足够的实力打进至少3球。他们在3个月前对阵荷兰队的比赛中表现出了强大的火力，当时他们打进了4球(预期进球3.26)。拉脱维亚今天将在没有首发门将斯坦因博尔斯的情况下进行比赛。这是一个巨大的打击，应该会对他们的表现产生非常糟糕的影响。

对于东道主来说，除了轻松取胜之外，我无法想象还有什么结果。控球率70%，进3球。
