Best Bet for England vs Latvia

The Wembley lights will shine a little brighter on Monday night as England continue their World Cup 2026 qualifying journey with a visit from Latvia in what already looks like a top-of-the-table encounter in Group K. With a new manager at the helm and fresh faces emerging, the Three Lions are hoping to build momentum after an opening win against Albania. For Latvia, the challenge could hardly be more daunting—but they arrive on the back of a morale-boosting win themselves and won’t want to just roll over in front of a packed English crowd.

England’s performance against Albania was a mixed bag—effective in parts, but also noticeably disjointed in others. While the debut goal from the electric Myles Lewis-Skelly and yet another composed finish from Harry Kane sealed a tidy 2-0 win, Thomas Tuchel was forthright in admitting the second-half display left a bit to be desired. Latvia, meanwhile, managed to squeeze out a narrow win over Andorra, thanks to a goal from super-sub Dario Sits, but the reality is they’ll be facing a completely different beast in London.

The stakes may not be do-or-die at this stage, but the pressure will be real—on Tuchel to impress again, and on Latvia to avoid humiliation. Let’s be honest, this isn’t the kind of fixture where you expect a classic—but it could be brutal, and maybe even a little bit glorious, depending on your allegiances.

Best Bet for England vs Latvia: Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score – No

After combing through every angle and stat, here at BettingTips4You.com we’ve handpicked our ultimate prediction for this clash—and we’re confident about it. We don’t flood you with five or six options and leave you scratching your head. Instead, we deliver one clear, carefully-selected best bet per match. That way, our readers can trust they’re getting our most confident call without the fluff. For this game, the standout tip is Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score – No.

Let’s break it down. England, under new boss Thomas Tuchel, are still getting used to the rhythm of his setup. But even while still shifting gears, they managed to control 74% of possession against Albania, limiting them to an eye-watering low 0.06 Expected Goals. That’s the kind of defensive dominance you rarely see—even against lesser sides. With a backline marshalled by Levi Colwill and Reece James, the Three Lions look like they’ve got both steel and style at the back.

Latvia, on the other hand, despite sneaking past Andorra with a scrappy 1-0, offered up seven shots to a side ranked well below England. They’ve also conceded nine goals across their last two away qualifiers against Croatia and Turkey, scoring only once in those matches. While that win in Andorra ended a poor run, let’s not pretend they suddenly look like a side about to conquer Wembley.

There’s a serious mismatch here, especially when you consider the attacking weapons England have. Jude Bellingham was everywhere against Albania, with nine touches in the box and three shots, yet was unlucky not to find the net. Harry Kane, fresh off his 70th England goal, is still ruthlessly clinical. And if Tuchel decides to rotate, he’s still got Jarrod Bowen and Gibbs-White waiting for their chance to prove a point.

Even if Tuchel experiments a bit, the structure and quality gap is just too wide. Latvia might cling on early, but they’re unlikely to last the full 90 without caving. England don’t tend to concede in these qualifiers—Italy are the only side to breach their defence in the last four home matches.

“It’s not just about England winning—it’s about how suffocating they can be without the ball,” says BettingTips4You.com expert Tyler Morris. “Latvia might avoid embarrassment, but don’t count on them landing a punch at Wembley.”

We’re backing a dominant English display where they do all the scoring, and comfortably get past the three-goal threshold without anything going the other way.

Correct Score Prediction: England 4-0 Latvia

This feels like a game where England, even without hitting full throttle, can rack up a few goals. Latvia’s backline struggled badly against elite sides in the last campaign, and England have scored five and three in recent clean-sheet wins over Ireland and Greece. We’re tipping a 4-0 home win, with a few new faces possibly getting on the scoresheet if Tuchel makes changes early.
