Latvia vs Albania Prediction and Betting Tips | June 10th 2025

Latvia will host Albania at the Skonto Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Both teams will be keen to get a result that could prove vital on the long run as they seek their debut World Cup finals appearances.

Latvia will return to competitive action this week after an underwhelming goalless draw in a friendly clash against Azerbaijan on Saturday and have only one win in their last seven games. The 11 Wolves opened their qualifying campaign with a 1-0 win over Andorra before suffering a 3-0 loss to group favorites England in their second game, and will hope to go ahead of Tuesday's visitors in the group standings with a win this midweek.

Albania also featured in a goalless draw in their last game as they participated in their third World Cup qualifying fixture against Serbia on Saturday. Kuqezinjtë are currently sat in second place in Group K, having lost 2-0 to England in the opening round before beating Andorra 3-0 in the second matchday and will get a more comfortable points gap with a win on Tuesday.

Latvia vs Albania Prediction

The hosts are slight underdogs going into Tuesday's game and will need to improve on their poor recent offensive form, having only scored two goals across their last five games. 11 Vilki will, however, hope to receive a boost from their home advantage.

Kuqezinjtë have had their struggles in recent outings, winning just one of their last five. They are, however, the stronger side ahead of Tuesday's game and should win here.

Prediction: Latvia 0-1 Albania
