A Vital Clash in the EURO 2024 Qualifying Race
Key Stats
– Armenia have outscored all other teams in the group, bar Croatia.
– Armenian forward Lucas Zelarayán is in top form, netting twice in recent qualifiers.
Skonto stadions is set to be the stage for the upcoming EURO 2024 qualifier clash between Latvia and Armenia this Thursday. For Latvia, it’s been a turbulent qualifying journey. The team have tasted defeat in all of their five group stage matches, and the confidence tank seems to be running on empty. To further compound their woes, key defender Andrejs Cigankis, from Widzew Lodz, won’t be taking part in the fixture due to a yellow card accumulation, while forward Marko Regza is potentially eyeing a spot in the starting lineup.
When it comes to their top performers, goalkeeper Roberts Ozols stands out with a BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.60. Another notable name is Vladislavs Gutkovskis, the team’s leading forward, holding a rating of 6.93. However, with an overall average rating of 6.56, ranking them 44th out of 53 in this competition, it’s clear the team has underperformed.

Their attack looks particularly lacklustre, scoring a mere 0.6 goals on average per game, while defensively, they’ve let in an alarming 2.6 goals a game.
Rising Armenia
Armenia, in contrast, are approaching this game with heightened spirits. Their aspirations for EURO 2024 qualification remain very much alive, and given Latvia’s dwindling motivation and form, many would back the visitors for a win. The previous encounter between these two sides further bolsters this belief, as Armenia triumphed with a 2-1 victory.
Top on the Armenian players’ chart is forward Lucas Zelarayán with a BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.30, closely followed by goalkeeper Ognjen Čančarević, boasting a 7.28 rating. A look at their recent performances provides a more positive picture. Ranked 28th with an average rating of 6.81, Armenia have scored 1.6 goals on average per game while conceding 1.4. They’ve managed to find the back of the net twice or more in three of their last five matches, indicating their offensive potency.
Predictions
1. Match Outcome: Given Armenia’s form, superior player ratings, and their previous win against Latvia, an Armenian victory seems likely. The dispirited state of the Latvian camp, coupled with Armenia’s surging quest for qualification, makes the away team a favourable pick.
2. Correct Score Prediction: Considering Armenia’s attacking record and Latvia’s porous defence, a scoreline of 2-0 in favour of Armenia is a strong possibility.
3. Goalscorer Prediction: Lucas Zelarayán, Armenia’s top performer, who has already netted twice in the qualifiers, is a good bet to score in this match, potentially even opening the scoring.
4. Corner Prediction: Latvia, on average, earns 1.6 corners per match, while Armenia stands at 3.8. Given their attacking prowess and possession stats, it’s expected that Armenia will have more corners. In terms of total corners for the game, a figure around 6 to 8 corners seems plausible.
