Latvia will be aiming to record their first win in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers when they take on Gibraltar at Daugavas stadions on Wednesday evening. The Latvians did well to hold Turkey to a 3-3 draw in Istanbul in March, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. The good news for the hosts is that defender Kriss Karklins returns to contention.
The minors, on the other hand, continue to serve as a cannon fodder for their Group C rivals. With three defeats in the first three group games, Gibraltar are stuck at the bottom of the table, and given their shaky defence, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. When the two teams met in a friendly three years ago Gibraltar shocked Latvia, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
