Albania vs Latvia Prediction and Betting Tips | September 9th 2025

Albania will face Latvia at Air Albania on Tuesday in another round of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side have had a mixed first half to their qualifying campaign and will need to improve results in their remaining games if they are to advance from Group K, where they currently sit third with five points after four matches.

They played out a 1-1 draw with Latvia in their last group game, but returned to winning ways last week as they beat Gibraltar 1-0 in a friendly clash at the Europa Sports Park, with Jasir Asani scoring the game-winner from the spot midway through the second half.

Latvia have not fared any better than their midweek opponents in their qualifying campaign so far and are running out of time to gain a foothold in the group. They suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Serbia in their game on Saturday, falling behind in the 12th minute and failing to find a way back into the contest.

The visitors sit one place and a point behind their midweek hosts in the group standings and will leapfrog them with maximum points on Tuesday.

Albania vs Latvia Prediction

Kuqezinjtë are undefeated in their last four games, picking up two wins and two draws. They have, however, failed to impress on home soil in recent outings and will need to do a professional job this week to secure maximum points.

11 Vilki, meanwhile, are winless in their last four matches and have won just one of their last nine. They are underdogs heading into Tuesday's game and could lose this one.

Prediction: Albania 1-0 Latvia
