Latvia vs England Prediction: The Three Lions bid to secure 2026 World Cup ticket

England can book their spot at the 2026 World Cup on Tuesday when they face Latvia in Riga.

The Three Lions, who have five wins from five games, now know that a win against Latvia will be enough to secure top spot in Group K following Serbia's defeat to Albania.

Read on for our best bets and the latest team news ahead of Tuesday’s clash at the Daugava Stadium.

England maintained their impressive form under Thomas Tuchel with a commanding 3-0 win over neighbours Wales at Wembley; their sixth win to nil in seven matches under the German.

Despite the absence of captain Harry Kane through injury, the Three Lions surged into a three-goal lead within 20 minutes, courtesy of strikes from Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, and Bukayo Saka. The performance followed last month’s dominant 5-0 victory in Serbia, underlining England’s newfound attacking threat.

With confidence high, Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier in Latvia presents another opportunity for England to showcase their firepower in front of goal.

Unsurprisingly, England are heavy favourites at 1/20, but the real value may lie in backing Tuchel’s side to win to nil and score over 3.5 goals at 31/20 with BetMGM.

Marc Guehi may have missed out on a summer move to Liverpool, but that setback has done little to impact his form.

The Crystal Palace defender has been a standout performer this season, playing a pivotal role in the club’s record-breaking 19-game unbeaten run.

In addition to excelling at the back, Guehi’s attacking output has caught the eye, for both club and country. For Palace, he provided the assist for the winner against Liverpool and scored in the 3-0 victory over Aston Villa.

His form has carried over to the international stage where he's registered three assists and scored once in his last two appearances for England: he scored a goal and an assist in the 5-0 thrashing of Serbia, then he grabbed a brace of assists in the 3-0 win against Wales.

At odds of 11/4, we’re backing Guehi to notch another goal involvement on Tuesday night as he looks to continue his impressive streak at the other end of the pitch.

Thomas Tuchel will hope to have skipper Harry Kane back available for selection after he was forced to miss the Wales win through injury.

Kane's replacement, Ollie Watkins scored but was taken off at half-time after he collided with the post, raising doubts over whether he will be ok to face Latvia. Meanwhile, Jarell Quansah is out.
