UEFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers continue on Tuesday night and we take a look at two of the games from a betting angle.
TURKEY vs GEORGIA
Turkey are currently 2nd on the table in Group E, 3 points behind leaders Spain. They played 3 matches winning 2 and losing 1. They were far too strong for Bulgaria on the weekend winning 6-1 away from home, but prior to that they lost 6-0 at home to Spain.
Georgia are 3rd on the log with 1 win and 2 losses. They went down 2-0 away to Spain on the weekend and prior to that they beat Bulgaria 3-0 at home.
Head-to-Head
These sides met earlier in the qualification round with Turkey beating Georgia 3-2 on the road. They also met in Euro 2024 when Turkey won 3-1.

Turkey 1.61
Draw 4.25
Georgia 5.25
Verdict
All 3 of Turkey’s games have had 5 goals or more in them and the recent match between the sides delivered 5 goals exactly. Both teams are forced to chase the win and I think we are going to see plenty of goal-mouth action.
BET: Over 3.5 goals at 2.60
LATVIA vs ENGLAND
Latvia currently sit 4th in Group K with 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses. They drew 2-2 at home to Andorra in their last start, a game where they started 6/10 favourites.
England are top of the table with a 100% record after 5 matches and they have scored 13 goals without conceding. Last time out they hammered Serbia 5-0 on the road.
Head-to-Head
These sides have only met once and that was in the earlier stages of qualification where England won 3-0 at home.

Latvia 34.00
Draw 15.00
England 1.06
Verdict
England winning this game appears to be a given so we need to look at other betting angles. Over 3.5 goals is trading at 1.83 and i is tempting, but I am going to take a speculative play here that the first goal is scored in the 11th to 20th minute.
BET: When will 1st goal be scored (10 minutes interval) 11-20 at 3.85
