England vs Latvia Prediction: Captain Kane Can Star in Big Win
England vs Latvia Betting Tips
- Kane to score two or more goals - 19/10 William Hill
- Over 4.5 goals - 6/4 Unibet
After getting life under Thomas Tuchel off to a winning start on Friday, England will be hoping to make it six points out of six when they host Latvia at Wembley tonight (7.45pm, ITV1).
Anything less than a win would be embarrassing against a team currently ranked 136 places below them in the world standings.
Friday’s 2-0 win over Albania was more functional than flamboyant and the former Chelsea boss has spoken about wanting intensity, excitement and a hunger to win, so he will know he has work to do if we are to see that approach on the pitch.
But a win is a win and you don’t get bonus points for scoring more or players getting 10 out of 10 in the ratings - the important thing now is he gets to see the players first hand and understand exactly what he has to work with.
England vs Latvia Betting Preview: Flawless Start From Tuchel
Three points tonight are almost a given. After all, England haven’t lost a World Cup or European Championship qualifier at Wembley since November 2008, when they were beaten 3-2 by Croatia.
They are actually unbeaten in 32 straight World Cup qualifiers since losing 1-0 to Ukraine in 2009 and you have to go back to 2000 for the last time they were beaten at home in a World Cup qualifier, when they lost 1-0 to Germany with Dietmar Hamann scoring the only goal of the game.
England are a best-price of 1/25 on football betting sites, while Latvia are 100/1 and you can get 33/1 on a draw at Wembley.
The two sides both go into the game with maximum points from their opening game after Latvia won 1-0 in Andorra, with Dario Sits scoring the only goal of the game.
Surprisingly, this is the first ever meeting between the two sides and the stats are pretty good for England in their first meetings with sides, winning the previous 56 such matches. You have to go back to 1959 for when England last lost their first meeting with a side when Walter Winterbottom’s team were beaten 2-1 in a friendly by Mexico, at Estadio Olimpico Universitario.
Since then they have won 42 and drawn 14 of their 56 inaugural matches.
If England get their act together early on and play more like how Tuchel envisions. this one could be any scoreline. Betting sites are offering 5/1 on a 4-0 win, but our preference is to go for over 4.5 goals.

Kane To Keep Delivering
We already know there are changes to the squad for tonight’s match with Anthony Gordon returning to Newcastle due to an injury, while his club teammate Tino Livramento and Aaron Ramsdale has been left out of the matchday squad.
Morgan Gibbs-White and Jarrel Quansah, who were both left out of Friday’s squad, are named in the 23 for tonight, but both are likely to have to settle for a place on the bench.
It will be interesting to see what Tuchel does with the forward line after he admitted Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden didn’t have the influence he had expected.
One player who is likely to keep his place in attack is Harry Kane, not just because there is no one else to play that role but also because these are the type of games he comes alive in.
His goal against Albania was a trademark strike for the England skipper and betting apps are offering 23/10 on him scoring first or last, while he’s just 2/5 on him scoring anytime.
The Bayern Munich striker has already scored 36 goals in 43 appearances so far this season and has scored two or more on nine different occasions. You can back him at 19/10 to achiveve that feat again tonight.
England vs Latvia prediction 2: Kane to score two or more goals - 19/10 William Hill
