Latvia VS Armenia
Latvia currently have lost all five of their group games, scoring three goals and conceding 13, making them the team with the fewest goal difference in this group and sitting at the bottom of the group.
Latvia basically used the 442 formation in the first three group games, the team did not have particularly strong players, expected the 442 formation to play steadily, stabilized the defense and then seek offensive opportunities, but still failed to resist Wales and Turkey their attack, after three consecutive losses, the game with Croatia used the 4141 formation.
Latvia's 442 formation is understandable to seek to change formation after three consecutive defeats, but what the hell is your use of 4141 formation, this is not an ordinary team can use well, Bayern and Manchester City have used, pursuing high pressing, forcing opponents to make mistakes to get counter-attacking opportunities.
But Croatia's possession is very good, defender Gvadior they have a strong ability to shoot the ball, Latvia after the first half of the pressing was ineffective, changed back to the 451 formation dominated by defense, the result was still Croatia 5-0 burst!
Another problem with the 4141 formation is that it has high requirements for the interception and defensive ability of the single back.
Latvia's captain Tobels is the team's best player, but his sluggish stubborn position at the back has resulted in the team's strongest player receiving the lowest rating. In the last game with Wales, it changed back to 442 formation, but lost the game 0:2 at home!
Armenia use a three-centre-back formation such as 343 or 541, defensively well, and have conceded only one goal against the stronger Croatia and Turkey in the last two games.
Armenia's offensive ability is also online, their 541 attack is basically based on wing penetration, full-back Darth Ian with the ball to score, two wingers Zeleiling and Barshegiyan return to the opposing team's rib position in front of the goal, after getting the ball, you can choose to shoot, or cross to center Lanos.
Comprehensive analysis: Latvia are the worst team in this group at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and their top scorer is Guterkovskis, who has just moved to the Korean K-League Daejeon citizen, and he was unable to participate in the qualifiers due to injury, resulting in Latvia's offensive weakness in this European Qualifiers.
In tonight's game, Latvia's main defender and captain of the team, Tobels, will not be able to play with a cumulative yellow card, and the defensive problems will be even more magnified. Latvia's group qualification is basically hopeless, and the rest of the match may not be very strong, but Armenia still has a chance to qualify, and facing a weak Latvia is a key battle for them to score points. This match is looking forward to Armenia being able to perform better away from home!
Croatia vs Turkey
Croatia in the European preliminary period of some civil unrest, injuries, Petkovic injured for three weeks, Ivan Nušez and Kramaric also suffered injuries, and then Livaya suddenly announced his withdrawal from the national team, due to the Croatian domestic league two teams, Rijeka and Split Heyduk port derby, before Livaya was insulted by fans in the national team training, friction withdrew from the national team, Croatia is actually a multi-ethnic faith, the people are fierce country.
After this series of operations, Croatia this international window day can use only one No. 9 forward Mousa on the strength is very huge, because it was originally a large area of main injuries, this time the recruited Croatian team is the weakest on paper in the past 10 years, half of the youth army, but after the forward line encountered the above situation, coach Dalic did not make up again.
And Turkey's current paper lineup is not luxurious but also the best in Europe, because it has not played at its due level, Real Madrid genius Güller is injured, by Inter Cha Ball King a vote of the five major league frontcourt, Cha Ball King said that it is the first midfielder in Serie A is no problem.
After former coach Konz lost to Japan in the warm-up game, the Turkish Football Association finally couldn't bear his senseless attempts, and put the players in a position they were not good at playing in a mess and went straight out of class, this ball was the debut of new coach Montella.
I am still optimistic about him, at least he can use the formation well, and it is always no problem to completely release the three aces in the team, and put him in the right position. This time Turkey, in fact, the midfield is very strong, the front court is also good, the only drawback is the back line, but the local chicken has always been weaker than paper strength, which requires the coach's tuning.
This ball is very crucial for Turkey, it is the most important game of the entire European qualifiers, and it is necessary to get at least one point, otherwise Armenia will overcome.
Turkey's problems have always been the misuse of the head coach and the hidden dangers of the back line, and this game is like changing the coach. Second, although Croatia is still old and strong, there is no one to use in the striker, and it is optimistic that Turkey will retire away tonight.
