Germany Team News
Germany is playing flawlessly in this championship and they have recorded all the victories without one of their main players Franz Wagner. The German national team played fantastic preparatory matches where they were only defeated, and very hard, by the Canadian and US national teams. They carried that excellent form to the championship, where they took first place in the very difficult group E, leaving behind Australia, Finland, and Japan. They especially showed their quality against Australia, where they achieved a very important and important victory without Franz Wagner, which opened the door to the quarterfinals. In the newly formed group K, they showed absolute dominance and scored 100 points in both games against Georgia and Slovenia and won by almost 30 points.
Germany plays fast and attacking basketball to the beat of the excellent Dennis Schroder, who is the absolute leader of the team. Schroder controls the rhythm phenomenally and finds holes in the opponent’s defense with his penetrations. The game of Germany depends a lot on those “breakthroughs” by Schroder, who on the first step breaks the opponent’s defense and finds free shooters. All German players are great three-pointers, even tall players. Mo Wagner, Voigtmann, and Thiess, all have range and great three-point percentages. Germany is the team that allows the fewest points in long-range shooting and also the best defense in the championship, while the Latvians are the team that made the most three-pointers in the championship, a total of 66. Germany is also at the top in terms of the number of three-pointers made with 63.
The way they beat Slovenia in the last match is impressive. The Slovenians defeated Germany in the first quarter and had an advantage of 14 points, limiting them to 11 points. In the continuation of the match, Germany threw in more speed and scored almost 30 points in quarters against weak Slovenia. In defense, Bonga and the team did an excellent job on Dončić, who had very bad percentages and could not find a solution for Germany’s defense. Schroder dominated the attack with 24 points and 10 assists.

Latvia Team News
Latvia is a team that, through the qualifications and preparatory matches, showed how well-coordinated and high-quality the selection is. Although they came to the championship without the biggest star Kristaps Porzingis, they played as if in a trance and deservedly found themselves among the top eight teams. Latvia couldn’t have reached the quarterfinals the hard way. They were in Group H, with Canada, France and Lebanon. After the opening game and victory over Lebanon, they also defeated France, which they kicked out of the tournament. They recorded their only defeat against Canada in the third round, which decided first place and an easier way to the quarterfinals. In the newly formed group, they faced Spain and Brazil, and they had no right to make a mistake. They beat Spain after a big turnaround in the last quarter, while Brazil was defeated by 20 points in a match that directly decided the passage to the quarterfinals. Latvia showed all the fundamentals of the basketball game in that match as well. They respected every attack and every defense, and that eventually led to a convincing victory. The flow of the ball, transition, and defense are what adorn the game of Latvia. They hit 16 three-pointers from 33 attempts.
In addition to Porzingis, Latvia was also without its captain Dairis Bertans, who ended his participation due to injury. Although they don’t have that many big names in their line-up, the guys who are under the radar are doing an unreal job. The leaders of the team are Davis Bertans and Smits, while the real revelations at the championship are Zagars, who is the main creator of the team, as well as Grazulis and Zoriks, who decided the matches against Spain and Brazil with their points.

Germany vs Latvia Prediction
Germany is the national team that showed perhaps the most at this championship. They have a “win or go home” game ahead of them, and they have no right to make a mistake. Latvia will enter the match relieved, but we believe that Germany will establish control, especially defensively and defend the three-point line well, while in attack they have enough quality to cause big problems for Latvia.
