Paolo Nicolato\u2019s men are fighting alongside Albania for second place but face a tough road. Their worrying statistic is in attack \u2014 it has been <strong>17 matches since they last scored more than once in a game<\/strong>, back in October 2023. With just one win in their last eight (D3, L4), Latvian fans know they are underdogs here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serbia<\/strong>, on the other hand, arrives with experience and consistency. Boasting <strong>seven players with 50+ caps<\/strong>, the Eagles have started strong (W1, D1) and are unbeaten in their last six matches (W2, D4). Their defence is rock solid, with <strong>three consecutive clean sheets<\/strong>. However, they remain winless in their previous eight away matches (D5, L3), which leaves the door slightly ajar for Latvia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2694\ufe0f Head-to-Head History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be the <strong>first-ever meeting<\/strong> between Latvia and Serbia, adding extra intrigue as both sides look to make history with a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcca Hot Stats and Key Trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Five of Latvia\u2019s last seven matches saw <strong>under 2.5 goals<\/strong>.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>None of Latvia\u2019s last five WCQ games produced goals <strong>after the 80th minute<\/strong>.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Five of Serbia\u2019s last six games also had <strong>under 2.5 goals<\/strong>.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serbia has won four of its last seven WCQ away games by a <strong>one-goal margin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1323290-720x377-1.webp\" alt=\"Latvia vs Serbia WCQ Prediction: First-Ever Clash in Group K\" class=\"wp-image-5889\" style=\"width:831px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1323290-720x377-1.webp 720w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1323290-720x377-1-300x157.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1323290-720x377-1-150x79.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1323290-720x377-1-696x364.webp 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf1f Key Players to Watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Latvia:<\/strong> <em>J\u0101nis Ikaunieks<\/em> \u2013 In red-hot form at club level with four goals in his last seven appearances.
