EuroBasket 2025 Prediction: Latvia – Turkey (27-08-2025)

Judging by the capabilities of both teams, it is likely that the most intense match on Wednesday evening will be between Latvia and Turkey. Latvia will have home court advantage.

Both teams have already completed their preparatory matches ahead of the EuroBasket championship, so we were able to form a more or less accurate impression of both teams.

Latvian basketball is still riding high on the excitement of the 2023 World Cup, but it must be acknowledged that the team’s stars are not currently in the best shape. The Bertans brothers are certainly not getting any younger, and K. Porzingis is still struggling to recover from injuries.

Be that as it may, the Latvian national team did not encounter much resistance in the qualifiers for this year’s championship and finished first in their group. However, the Latvians stumbled in friendly matches, defeating Slovenia but losing to Greece, Lithuania, and Italy.

It is somewhat more difficult to assess the current form of the Turkish basketball players – initially, the Turks played friendly matches with an incomplete lineup. Later, with more playing time for the team’s stars – S. Larkin, A. Şengün, and C. Osman – the Turks began to show better form and defeated the Lithuanian national team in Vilnius.

Both teams have equal chances of winning, so the main advantage for Latvia is their home field. Nevertheless, betting on Turkey (+) is more valuable and can be found at the best bookmakers.
