Portugal vs Latvia Preview and Prediction for Sept. 1 | 2025 EuroBasket

It's Day 6 of the 2025 EuroBasket, and one of the six games scheduled on Monday is the Group A matchup between Portugal and Latvia. Both teams are desperate for a win to increase their chances of getting out of the preliminary round and advancing to the knockout stage.

Portugal is making its EuroBasket return after 14 years, with Neemias Queta leading the country to its first win of the tournament on opening day. Portugal's last appearance was in 2011 in Lithuania, where it finished in last place among 21 nations.

On the other hand, Latvia is trying to earn its first podium finish of the EuroBasket. The Latvians finished fifth in 2023, though they need to dig deep after losing two of their first three games of the preliminary round. They need more production outside of Kristaps Porzingis and Davis Bertans.
