England vs Latvia predictions: Rogers to star against Wolves
&w=707&quality=100)
- Morgan Rogers has scored 12 goals and provided seven assists in all competitions this season
- Latvia have lost eight of their last 14 games
- Recommended bet: Morgan Rogers to score or assist
Thomas Tuchel’s reign as England manager got off to a solid start with a comfortable 2-0 win over Albania and the Three Lions look likely to pick up a rapid-fire second victory over the new bosses’ reign when they take on Latvia at Wembley on Monday.
Team news
England's Anthony Gordon suffered a hip injury against Albania on Friday and looks unlikely to feature in this second game as a result.
Thomas Tuchel is likely to rotate and that should be good news for the likes of Morgan Rogers, Levi Colwill and Reece James.
Latvia have no new fitness concerns and are likely to field a similar side to the one that beat Andorra 1-0 last time out.
The stats
&w=707&quality=100)
Latvia have registered only three wins from their last 14 games and they were a pair of victories over the Faroe Islands along with their success last time out against Andorra.
The Wolves have only ever qualified for one major tournament, Euro 2004, but they did pick up two wins and three draws from their last World Cup qualifying campaign.
England have won 13 of their last 15 World Cup qualifiers and have recorded wins to nil in five of their last seven outings.
Prediction
Thomas Tuchel was handed two straightforward fixtures to kick start his reign as England manager with the Three Lions hosting Albania and Latvia in World Cup qualifying.
The Three Lions were 2-0 winners of his first game in charge with the highlight being a debut goal for Myles Lewis-Skelly.
With another very winnable game against Latvia in the team’s second iteration under the new boss, expect plenty of rotation and one player to benefit from that could be Morgan Rogers.
Comfortable behind the striker or off the left, the Aston Villa man has been a real standout for his side this season and has put his name firmly into the national team picture as a result.
The former Middlesbrough man has bagged 12 goals and provided seven assists in all competitions and could be the player to break down Latvia’s low block in this clash.
Side with Rogers to either score or register an assist.
