BELGRADE, Serbia (Interstat) — Serbia will look to capitalize on home advantage and a favorable matchup when it hosts Latvia in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025.

The match at Stadion Rajko Mitić marks a quick rematch for the two sides, who met just over two months ago. Serbia earned a narrow 1-0 victory in Riga on Sept. 6, a result that typified the recent fortunes of both teams.

Serbia (2-3-0, 6 points in WCQ) enters the contest looking to rebound from a 2-0 loss to England on Thursday. Their qualifying campaign has been inconsistent, with victories over Latvia and Andorra offset by losses to England and Albania.

Latvia (0-3-1, 1 point in WCQ) remains in search of its first qualifying win and is reeling from a 5-0 home defeat to England on Oct. 14. Their season across all competitions shows a pattern of struggle, with a record of 0-3-2 and a defense that has conceded 10 goals in its last two outings.

The statistical outlook heavily favors the hosts. Interstat’s game simulator projects a decisive 4-1 victory for Serbia, a scoreline that reflects Latvia’s defensive vulnerabilities and Serbia’s potent attack at home.

With both teams carrying identical 2-3-1 overall records this season, the match represents a critical opportunity for Serbia to solidify its standing in the group, while Latvia desperately seeks a positive result to ignite its faltering campaign.
