Latvia Portugal betting prediction
 Latvia |
|  Portugal |
Betting suggestion:
We recommend a bet for over 1,5 goals to be scored in the first half. We believe Portugal will enter in full throttle, trying to build an advantage since the start, and thus avoiding any kind of surprises in this match. Also, despite having an inferior team, Latvia should try to score at least one goal, but leaving spaces in their defense in order to do so. So we believe that a bet backing a high scoring first half has a lot of value.
