It’s Day 6 of the 2025 EuroBasket, and one of the six games scheduled is the Group A matchup between Portugal and Latvia. Both teams are desperate for a win to increase their chances of getting out of the preliminary round and advancing to the knockout stage.
Portugal are making their EuroBasket return after 14 years, with Neemias Queta leading them to their first win of the tournament on opening day. Their last appearance was in 2011 in Lithuania, where they finished in last place among 21 nations.
On the other hand, Latvia are trying to earn their first podium finish of the EuroBasket. They finished fifth in 2023, though they need to dig deep after losing two of their first three games of the preliminary round. They need more production outside of Kristaps Porzingis and Davis Bertans.
