Odds Breakdown: The Math of a Foregone Conclusion
Let’s start with the numbers because, in this matchup, the math is as clear as a penalty kick in an empty net. England is priced at 1.03-1.05 to win, implying a 95.2%-97.6% chance of victory. Latvia, at 41.0, is a 2.4% shot to pull off the upset of the century (or at least the century of this qualification campaign). The draw?

Their 3-5-2 formation relies on Janis Ikaunieks to orchestrate attacks and Renars Varslavans to… well, not make mistakes. Their best hope is to hope Englan
