Latvia and Kuwait square off against each other at Ta’Qali National Stadium in what will be their first ever meeting on the international stage. The Latvians did well to share the spoils with Norway in Oslo in November, while beating Gibraltar on the road, but that did not help them book a spot at the 2022 World Cup. The former Soviet republic aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but the game against Kuwait will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
The Brigadiers, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to Libya in their last international friendly. Kuwait are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on Latvia, who showed signs of improvement in their last two group games in the WC qualifiers.
