2.62Tip and bets
The hosts are much better than their opponents in terms of player level, which was proven by the first meeting between the teams. North Macedonia has no tournament motivation left, but the players will still want to please their fans in the last two rounds. We believe that Latvia will not be able to score points this time either. It is worth betting on the home team success.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1) on North Macedonia for 1.72
Bet on total
The hosts have a perfect defensive game - since the first round match with the Faroe Islands, the Macedonians have not conceded. The guests rarely please with goals, so it is unlikely that this match will be an attacking game. Most likely, the opponents will stop at two goals.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.80
Bet on corners
It is unlikely that we will see a game on opposite courses in this match. The teams spend a lot of time on the defensive line, and, as we believe, many passes from the corner flag will not be made.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners for 1.90
