Latvia are the bottom team in Group D; they are winless after three matches, having lost all three. Latvia scored three times in their run of three losses and conceded six times. 

They will look to improve their record and form at both ends of the pitch ahead of traveling to Croatia on Friday. They will focus on being compact and solid in their approach. Latvia will also look to bolster the dynamism of their final third play to increase the number and quality of chances they create.
