  • England have kept a clean sheet in eight of their last nine matches

  • The Three Lions have scored two or more goals in eight of their last 10 outings

  • Recommended bet: England to win 3-0

There is a huge incentive for Group K leaders England on Tuesday as victory over Latvia would seal qualification for next summer's World Cup finals in USA, Mexico and Canada with two games to spare.

Serbia's loss to Albania on Saturday opened the door for the Three Lions, who lead the group on 15 points after winning all five qualification fixtures so far.

And they can seal top spot with a routine victory over Latvia while keeping another clean sheet in the process.

Team news

Latvia have reported no fresh injury concerns and are likely to stick with the side which drew 2-2 with Andorra on Saturday.

England skipper Harry Kane is likely to be restored to the starting line-up having sat out the friendly win over Wales on Thursday.

Kane is likely to replace Ollie Watkins who picked up a knock against Craig Bellamy's side after colliding with a goal post, while Jarrell Quansah has withdrawn from the squad with a thigh injury.

Prediction

England have made light work of their World Cup qualifying campaign so far and they can continue their serene pathway to next summer's finals with another win to nil in Riga on Tuesday.

Thomas Tuchel's men warmed up for this clash with a dominant 3-0 friendly win over Wales at Wembley on Thursday and that was their eighth clean sheet in their last nine outings.

One of those results in that sequence was a 3-0 win over Latvia and backing the same outcome looks the best-value bet for this contest.

England should really have won by more against the lacklustre Dragons at Wembley but they eased off somewhat after coming out of the traps in deadly fashion to score all three goals in the opening 20 minutes.

Latvia will be well aware of the threat posed by the Three Lions and will likely set up to frustrate their visitors for as long as possible.

However, they are only likely to hold out for so long and with the likely return of Harry Kane in attack, England should not take too long to get on the scoresheet, and another 3-0 victory looks well within reach.

The hosts have failed to score in four of their last six matches, and although they would love to get on the scoreboard in front of their own fans, England look more than capable of securing a ninth clean sheet in their last 10 outings while booking their ticket to next summer's World Cup in the process.

Back England to win 3-0 at 17/4 with LiveScore Bet.
