Head-to-head statistics Latvia - Israel
Latvia Team Overview
At the moment, Latvia are not exactly lighting up the court, having dropped three of their last five games. Their only victories have come against lower-ranked sides-Austria and the Netherlands. Most recently, they suffered a heavy defeat to Croatia (80-115), a result that exposed major issues on the defensive end. On average, Latvia concede 84.5 points per game. However, there is reason for optimism on offense ahead of the upcoming fixture: at home, Latvia put up an impressive 90.7 points per contest. The Baltic side boasts several quality shooters who are capable of catching fire in front of their home crowd.
Match Results: Latvia
Israel Team Overview
At the moment, Israel continue to play an open, attacking style, but this approach has yet to deliver positive results: they are coming off four straight defeats. Most recently, they suffered a disappointing 86-106 loss to Poland. On average, Israel concede 87.4 points per game, with their defense offering few convincing arguments right now. Offensively, the options are also limited - the roster is far from optimal. Still, when pushing the tempo, they can create decent scoring opportunities, especially with talented playmakers like Tamir Blatt running the show. On average, Israel score 83 points per game, and given the freedom that Latvia tend to allow their opponents, that number could edge a bit higher in this matchup.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
In this matchup, the hosts are considered the favorites. However, Israel are a team capable of springing surprises, especially when facing opponents of similar caliber. Both Israel and Latvia have their issues defensively, so we can expect offense to take center stage here. Both sides are more than willing to fire from long range, and even if their shooting percentages aren't stellar, there’s still potential for a high-scoring affair. Our editorial team recommends backing the over 165.5 points market.
