Norway vs Latvia prediction

Norway enters the knockout stage with momentum behind them following three wins in a row, whilst Latvia have also won each of their last three matches. However, the most notable aspect of these streaks has been the clinical nature of Latvia offensively. It’s like they’ve switched to another gear entirely, racking up 18 goals over the course of those three victories.

With that in mind, Norway have their work cut out to restrict these Latvian frontlines which are likely to pile on the pressure from the first period onwards, giving their opponents no rest time. Over the course of three period, such offensive prowess may well overwhelm the Norwegians and makes backing Latvia a move well worth considering.
