Slovakia's women can seal their place in next year's European Championships in Turkey with a victory at Latvia.
The Slovaks have won all four of their Group B games but coach Jozef Resetar expects Wednesday's game to be a battle.
"We won all the games in this qualification up to now and we all know that we need to win one more to qualify," Resetar said.
"The best way is to win in Riga but it will certainly be a hard game. Latvia have a very good team and they have still a lot to play for.
"Latvia have to win, so the home team could be nervous and we should try to take advantage of that."
Group winners qualify automatically, along with the two second placed teams that have the best records.

"We do not want to start calculating losses and the scores," Resetar said.
"We won by five points at home and that is nothing in basketball. We go to Riga with the same aim as we had in the last game - to win."
Slovakia had to come from behind in the fourth quarter to win the first game between the first two sides but Resetar isn't tempted to make an alteration to his line-up.
"Nothing has changed in my nominations for this game," he said.
"We will play with the same list of players as in the game against Ukraine in Bratislava.
"We do not have any problems with injuries. I expect a different game than the game in Kosice against this opponent.
"I think that the result will be much lower when both teams will concentrate on their defence."
