Latvia V Northern Ireland Preview

I've got a horrible feeling that Northern Ireland may only get a draw against Latvia, may be a goaless one.

I sure hope I'm wrong that they won't allow their absolutely fantastic Euro 2008 campaing come to nothing aginst the group's bottom nation.

When you think about it, Northern Ireland have four of their last five games away from home. They've got to go to Iceland, Sweden and Spain as well as latvia and perform. IT won't be easy to qualify even if they're sitting in second place just two points from the leaders Sweden and one point ahead of third-placed Spain.

Putting those horrible thoughts to the back of my mind I've come up with a score that I hope will match reality.


My prediction:

Latvia 0 Northern Ireland 1
