Latvia and Serbia will lock horns in a World Cup qualifier at the Daugava National Stadium in Riga on Saturday afternoon.
Both teams have four points on the board, though Latvia have played one game more than their latest opponents.
The hosts solitary victory so far came against Group K basement boys Andorra on matchday one, with Latvia running out 1-0 winners.
Paolo Nicolato's side have since lost 3-0 to England before playing out a 1-1 draw with Albania at this venue back in June.
As for Serbia, they failed to hit the ground running when being held to a 0-0 draw away at Albania in their section opener.
However, the Eagles bank their first three points at the second attempt by sweeping aside Andorra 3-0 in Belgrade.
How the bookies view it: Plain sailing for Serbia
The bookies’ odds suggest that Serbia will make it back-to-back wins in Group K on Saturday, with an away success priced up at 3/10 on Boylesports.
Latvia come into this clash as huge outsiders at 8/1 on Boylesports while an all square affair in Riga is an unfancied 15/4 with the same firm.
Head to head: History book blank
It may come as a surprise to learn that Latvia and Serbia will square off for the first time ever on Saturday afternoon.
Players to watch: Mitrovic to make his mark?
Aleksandar Mitrovic marked his 100th appearance for Serbia with a hat-trick against Andorra in June, taking his overall tally for his country to 62. With that in mind, the Serbian sharpshooter stands out for an anytime strike here at 4/5 with Boylesports.
With a respectable return of 11 goals across his 53 appearances for his country, Latvia will look to Vladislavs Gutkovskis for inspiration on Saturday afternoon. The experienced forward looks a little overpriced in the anytime goalscorer market here at 9/2 on Boylesports.
Predicted line-ups
Latvia will be unable to call up on the services of defender Antonijs Cernomordijs as he will have to serve a one-match suspension on Saturday afternoon due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic has not been included in the Serbia squad so Djordje Petrovic is expected to start between the sticks for the visitors.
Latvia: Zviedris; Jaunzems, Balodis, Jagodinskis, Jurkovskis, Ciganiks; Varslavans, Ikaunieks, Saveljevs, Zelenkovs; Gutkovskis
Serbia: Petrovic; Stojic, Pavlovic, Milenkovic; Gudelj; Zivkovic, Lukic, Samardzic, Kostic; Mitrovic, Vlahovic
Anything else catch the eye?
Given that each of Serbia’s last five victories across all competitions have featured under 3.5 goals, the same selection on Saturday afternoon holds plenty of appeal at even-money (1/1) on Boylesports.
A separate play on under 2.5 goals as a single selection also looks well worthy of support at evens with the same bookmaker.
There have been two match goals or fewer in 11 of Serbia's last 13 matches, while the same bet would have also proven profitable in three of Latvia's previous four assignments.
