I am betting Austria here, I really think Latvia could be in for a long night, they were beaten or even hammered in their most recent games 5-0 against Slovenia and 3-0 v Israel both at home. While Austria picked up a poor result in Israel and really need to make sure there is no slip-up tonight. The Austrian side has a lot of talent, players like Arnautovic, Alaba, Baumgartlinger are all very talented players with years of experience. The Latvian side is nearly totally taken from the Latvian league and they are light years apart from where the Austrian players ply their trade. I think Austria is a terrific bet and even if the handicap is huge they should be backed given Latvia’s recent results.
Austria -3 min odds 1.90
