Georgia vs Latvia Prediction: The Latvian national team is a much more status team

Prediction for the match between Georgia and Latvia which will take place on July 2. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

This summer, sports fans were surprised by the Georgian football team, which made it out of the group at the European Championship. Basketball players are not lagging behind either. About a year ago, the Georgians made their debut at the World Cup, failed to qualify for the playoffs, but won two out of five games - wins over Cape Verde and Venezuela and losses to Slovenia, Germany and Australia.

Georgia failed to qualify for the European Championship in February 2024, failing to qualify there, but now have a chance to qualify for the Olympics. In addition to Latvia, the team also faces the Philippines in the qualifying tournament.

Before the start of the qualifying tournament, Georgia played one friendly match, in which they lost to Italy - 68:79. Among the Georgian squad we should mention the big men - Goga Bitadze from Orlando and Virtus Bologna's Tornike Shengelia.

The Latvian national team is a much more status team than the Georgian team, which they proved at the last World Championship. Like the Georgians, it was a debut for the Latvians, but it ended successfully, with a quarter-final defeat to the future champions the Germans and a final fifth place.

Judging by the roster, Latvia also has an excellent chance to qualify for the Olympics. The experienced Bertans brothers, NBA player Rodion Kurucs, and former VTB United League stars Janis Timma and Janis Strelnieks are all on the roster. The head coach is Italian Luca Banchi. Newly crowned NBA champion Kristaps Porzingis from Boston will miss the Olympics, but even without him the Latvian roster looks decent.

Latvia played two friendly games before the start of qualification - they beat Egypt (84:63), but lost to Finland (84:90).

Latvia not only plays at home, but also has a much better squad than Georgia, whose strength is limited by the presence of a couple of great big men. We believe that the Latvians will have no problem to get a win in the upcoming game. We bet on them with a handicap, as well as an individual TO - the attacking potential of this team seems to be very high.
