Preview
Latvia come into this one after a goalless draw against Montenegro in their last qualification match which ensured a struggle in the points table.
After the draw, Latvia is perilously placed in 5th spot of Group G with 5 points from 6 matches.
The hosts need a consistent set of results from their remaining matches to put pressure on the teams above; while another loss could mean curtains.
On the other hand, Netherlands won successive matches against Montenegro and Turkey in their previous two matches to stay on top of the table.
A 6-1 humbling of Turkey at home saw Depay scoring a hat-trick, Klaassen, Til and Malen finding the back of the net.
The Oranje have been smooth sailing with 13 points from their 6 matches played which includes 4 wins.
Both sides last met in the return leg where Oranje won 2-0 in late March, 2021.
