- 拉脱维亚在与安道尔的十次交锋中保持不败
- 安道尔在过去的八场比赛中都没有进球
- 安道尔在过去的14场客场比赛中以0比11输掉了11场
陷入困境的安道尔人
对于K组的挣扎者拉脱维亚和安道尔来说,骄傲是唯一的利害关系,这两个国家都无法与英格兰、阿尔巴尼亚和塞尔维亚竞争,当他们在里加的多加瓦体育场相遇时,这不太可能是经典。
安道尔队在世界杯预选赛的五场比赛中都没有得分,其中包括3月份主场迎战拉脱维亚队时以1比0失利。
事实上,客队在过去的八场比赛中都没有进球,他们是在友谊赛中与爱沙尼亚队零比零战平的情况下相遇的。
拉脱维亚队在过去的十场比赛中只赢了一场,但他们在资格赛中的竞争力远远超过安道尔队,他们在主场也以1比1战平了阿尔巴尼亚队,最近他们在客场1比0输给塞尔维亚和阿尔巴尼亚队的比赛中进行了艰苦的斗争。
因此,一个进球可能足以为拉脱维亚队赢得战利品,拉脱维亚队在同样多的比赛中只丢了6个球,而大部分的损失都是在温布利以3比0输给英格兰队的。
安道尔在过去的14场客场比赛中只进了一个球,11次以0比0失利,拉脱维亚可以惩罚这种缺乏进攻威胁的情况。
拉脱维亚队在与安道尔队的10场比赛中保持不败,在此期间他们已经9次被拒之门外,因此3月1-0胜利的重演可能会带来回报。
- Latvia are unbeaten in ten meetings with Andorra
- Andorra have failed to score in any of their last eight games
- Andorra have lost 11 of their last 14 away games to nil
Ailing Andorrans out of their depth
Pride is all that is at stake for Group K strugglers Latvia and Andorra, with neither nation able to compete with England, Albania and Serbia, and it is unlikely to be a classic when they meet at the Daugavas Stadion in Riga.
Andorra have lost all five of their World Cup qualifiers without scoring and that includes a 1-0 loss when hosting Latvia in March.
In fact, the visitors have failed to score in any of their last eight matches and they come into this encounter on the back of a goalless draw with Estonia in a friendly.
Latvia have won only one of their last ten matches but they have been far more competitive in qualifying than Andorra, having also held Albania to a 1-1 draw at home, and they have battled hard in recent 1-0 defeats to Serbia and Albania away.
So one goal may be enough to land the spoils for Latvia, who have conceded only six goals in as many matches and most of that damage came in a 3-0 loss to England at Wembley.
Andorra have scored only one goal in their last 14 away games, losing to nil on 11 occasions, and Latvia can punish that lack of attacking threat.
The Latvians are unbeaten in ten meetings with Andorra and they have recorded nine shut outs in that period, so a repeat of March’s 1-0 victory could reap the rewards.
