Estonia vs. Latvia Prediction

Since Latvia and Estonia have lost their EuroBasket opening games, they will be determined to register their first win of the tournament. Historically, Latvia has an upper edge in the matchup. They have an overall 6-1 record in their total seven meetings and are expected to register their seventh win.

The Latvian squad had players with a wealth of NBA experience, such as Davis Bertans and Kristaps Porzingis. Nevertheless, having lost their lone meeting in EuroBasket, the Estonian squad would be keen to even the score against Latvia.

Our Prediction: Latvia will win the game.
