Slovenia vs Latvia prediction

Latvia may have gotten a victory to start their Group A campaign against France, but Canada represented far tougher opposition and they ultimately outclassed Latvia, winning 7-1. That was a game that Latvia can just write off as they are unlikely to face opposition as strong as Canada across the rest of the group stage.

Slovenia have scored just one point so far after two matches, conceding seven in contrast. Their offensive has been cold and Latvia should be able to take advantage. With that in mind, back the Latvians to wind up strong across the three periods and claim victory in this encounter.
