Ahead of our Eurobasket odds, Great Britain have had a tough start to the competition with two losses and they need a win to have any chance of getting back into the competition. They’ve not been outplayed but need to focus on the game to secure their first win. Latvia have had a good tournament to date with a narrow loss to a good Serbia side but overpowering a poor Belgium side.
Latvian centre Kristaps Porzingis is the leading point scorer for his side and is a key player for his country when they face a tough Great Britain side looking for their first win of the competition. Gabe Olaseni is Britain’s player to watch as they go in search of the win. The leading points scorer and top of the stats in rebounds are the players to focus on.
Before we get to our basketball betting odds, Latvia started the competition with a resounding win over a Belgium side but were then beaten by one of the favourites, Serbia. There are reasons for optimism and they may go far in this competition. Britain have struggled with losses to Belgium and Turkey, finishing well behind their opponents in both matches and not putting up an expected fight.
These two teams have only met twice before with the Latvians coming out on top in their contests. Last time out in a friendly in 2011, it was a straight forward 74-51 win. In their first ever encounter, it was a narrow 86-84 win, showing that the Latvians have the upper hand on the British side.
The poor start to the 2017 Eurobasket for Great Britain sees them go into the match with the pressure firmly on them and for our basketball predictions, we think that Latvia will be too strong and will come out on top comfortably. Great Britain know that it is their last chance saloon and will put up a fight but won’t have the quality to take the win.
