Czech Republic vs Latvia Preview and Prediction for Sept. 3 | 2025 EuroBasket

Kristaps Porzingis and Latvia will play their final group stage game of the 2025 EuroBasket against the Czech Republic on Sept. 3.

Wednesday’s game will witness no change in the Czech team’s future in the campaign, as they have already been eliminated after losing all four of their matches.

Latvia, however, sits third in Group A with a 2-2 record. While the team has already qualified for the Final Phase, a victory would witness a boost in morale for the knockout stage.

Czech Republic vs. Latvia Preview

The Czech Republic entered EuroBasket 2025 with momentum on their side after winning their last two warm-up games. Once the tournament began, though, things quickly turned sour.

They have yet to register a single win, falling to Portugal on Wednesday, Turkey on Friday, Estonia on Saturday and Serbia on Monday. Across those four losses, they have been outscored by an average differential of 15.5 points.

Latvia, in contrast, has emerged as one of the dark horses of the competition. Their campaign started on a rough note with a 93-73 loss to Turkey, but they immediately bounced back with a narrow 72-70 victory over Estonia.

They then pushed Serbia to the limit in an 84-80 defeat before defeating Portugal 78-62 on Monday.

As expected, Kristaps Porzingis has been the driving force behind their success, averaging 17.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.
