STARA PAZOVA, Serbia (Interstat) — Israel’s under-17 women’s national team will look to capitalize on home-pitch advantage and a strong statistical projection when it hosts Latvia in a UEFA U17 Championship women’s qualification match Monday.

The Week 2 qualifier is scheduled for April 6, 2026, at the Sportski Centar Fudbalskog saveza Srbije in Stara Pazova. While Israel is the designated home team, the match is being played at a neutral venue in Serbia.

Israel enters the contest seeking a rebound from a disappointing 1-0 away loss to Andorra on March 10, 2025. Latvia also looks to recover from a defeat, having fallen 2-0 at home to Bosnia-Herzegovina on Feb. 22, 2025.

Analytics firm Interstat heavily favors Israel to secure a decisive victory. The company’s game simulator predicts a 4-1 final score for Israel. Furthermore, its ELO rating system gives Israel U17 W a 75.70% probability of winning the match.

The matchup is part of the European qualification process for the UEFA U17 Championship for women. Both teams will be aiming to secure crucial points in their group to advance to the next stage of the tournament.

Despite the neutral site, Israel will be the administrative home side. The venue in Stara Pazova is a facility of the Football Association of Serbia.

Kickoff is set for Monday at the Serbian sports complex. The match will be a key test for both sides early in the qualification campaign.
