Wales head into the match in Latvia under pressure and in desperate need of a win to keep their hopes of reaching Euro 2024.
A goalless draw against South Korea on Thursday offered little to their chances of qualification, but manager Robert Page will be hoping it has prepared his players for the match.
Defeats to Turkey and Armenia in June put a huge amount of pressure on Wales who sit fourth in their group, although level on points with Croatia and just two points behind Armenia in second.
Wales go into the game with a poor record of just one win in their last 13 matches, and need to turn their fortunes around in Riga.
Here’s everything you need to know.
