Croatia will host Latvia at the Maksimir stadium on Friday afternoon, 8 September 2021, in the continuation of Group D of the EURO 2024 qualifiers. The home team is ambitious to win big and improve their position in the standings.
Croatia is one of the strongest teams in Europe, with the feat of reaching the 2018 World Cup final and 2022 World Cup semifinals. However, the checkered jersey team still has a hard fight to qualify for the EURO 2024 finals, as they have only played two games in their group. D and won four points.
Croatia opened qualifying with a 1-1 draw against Wales, then beat Turkey 2-0 thanks to two goals from Mateo Kovacic. Last June, Croatia participated in the last four of the Nations League, where they eliminated the Netherlands 4-2 in extra time, but lost on penalties to Spain in the final.
On the other hand, Latvia is a team that doesn’t have much experience and achievements on the European stage. The team only qualified for the EURO finals once in 2004, but have not appeared at the prestigious event since then. Latvia is currently at the bottom of Group D with zero points from four games.
Latvia lost consecutively to Armenia (0-1), Turkey (0-3), Wales (0-2) and Netherlands (0-5) in the EURO 2024 qualifiers. This team is also not doing well in the Nations League, where they won only one out of six matches and were relegated to League D.
Croatia was unable to field several important players due to injury, such as striker Mislav Orsic, midfielder Luka Sucic and goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic. However, coach Zlatko Dalic still has plenty of quality options in every position, especially in the midfield which is reinforced by Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic and Mateo Kovacic.
Reflecting on all the information above, Croatia is a team that is far superior in terms of quality and experience than Latvia. The home team also has high motivation to win big and get close to the top of the standings. Latvia will try to defend with discipline and passion, but will likely not be able to withstand Croatia’s onslaught.
