Latvia face Norway in a tightly-contested quarter-final, with recent form giving Latvia a slight edge despite bookmakers favoring Norway. Latvia enter the match on a 3-game win streak and have consistently high-scoring games, while holding a head-to-head advantage over Norway. Norway advanced with five group wins, but Latvia have produced standout offensive displays, especially in their last few games. The key recommendation is to back Latvia for the win and consider betting on over 4.5 total goals, given both teams’ attacking prowess.

Latvia are tipped to pull off a slight upset in this quarter-final clash.

The Latvians have hit their stride offensively over the past few games and their forward lines could cause all sorts of problems for Norway.

Key Numbers – Can Latvia Make It 4-In-A-Row?

  • Latvia are on a 3-game win streak
  • Latvia have scored 18 goals across their last 3 games
  • Each of Latvia’s previous 4 games produced over 4.5 total goals
  • Each of Norway’s last 4 games have seen over 4.5 total goals

Latvia Lead Head-To-Head; Won Last Meeting

Latvia lead the series 22-14 since 2003
Latvia won 4-3 when the two teams last met on May 7

Norway Advanced With Five Group Wins

Norway won five of their seven games during the group stage to finish second in the standings and advance.

The Norwegians made a losing start to the tournament as they fell 2-1 to Slovakia, but they responded in emphatic fashion with a 4-0 shutout win over Slovenia.

They backed that up with 4-0 success against Italy too, and then pushed tournament favourites Canada close before falling to a 6-5 defeat.

Norway responded with a 3-2 success against Scandinavian rivals Sweden, before easing to a 4-1 victory against Czechia.

The Norwegians then wrapped up second place in the group with a 4-3 victory over Denmark.

Latvia Booked Knockout Place With Four Wins

Latvia advanced to the knockout stage by winning four of their seven games during the group stage.

Like Norway, the Latvians also made a losing start to the competition as they were beaten 4-2 by hosts Switzerland.

They rebounded immediately to beat Germany 2-0, only to then suffer a 3-1 loss to Austria and a 7-1 blowout defeat to Finland.

Latvia’s response was impressive, as they stunned the United States by beating the defending champions 4-2.

The Latvians then backed that up with a 6-0 rout of Great Britain, and an 8-1 demolition of Hungary to secure a spot in the quarter-finals.

Verdict

The bookies are leaning towards Norway in this one, but we like Latvia’s chances.

Offensively they are firing on all cylinders and we have already seen them spring one surprise result in the tournament so far.
