In the European World Cup qualifiers, Serbia will host Latvia on November 16, 2025. While neither team has major tournament objectives left, the visitors might find a chance if the hosts show any vulnerability. ⚽️
Our Prediction for Serbia vs Latvia
Under the guidance of Stojković, Serbia participated in several major tournaments in a row, but without much success. They did, however, perform decently in the Nations League, including a notable win over Austria in the play-out last March.
In the current World Cup qualifying cycle, Serbia lost predictably to England and managed just one point in two matches against Albania, effectively handing their rivals second place. After that disappointing run, coach "Pixi" resigned.
Latvia began this cycle with a win over Andorra, but added just two more points, thanks to home draws. They held Albania and drew 2-2 away to Andorra, ending up in the penultimate spot—achieving their modest 2025 objective.
New coach Veljko Paunović debuted with a tough match in England. Hopes of catching the giants off-guard were dashed as England won 2-0 without breaking a sweat. Latvia had a bye in the same round but arranged a friendly with North Macedonia, which ended 0-0.
