Match Preview
The loser of this match will lose their mathematical chance to compete in the final tournament. It's been exactly 12 years since their last head-to-head meeting at the DBB Supercup 2014, where Israel won 94-86.
Latvia in Difficult Situation
Latvia's chances of reaching the World Championship 2027 have been reduced to a minimum, currently sitting in 4th place in Group K with a 3-4 record, while third-placed Germany are at 6-1.
After wrapping up the first phase with back-to-back victories against the Netherlands 72-69 and Austria 112-66, the Baltic side failed to stay competitive against Croatia on Thursday in Zadar, suffering a convincing 115-80 defeat.
Latvia had a disastrous start to these qualifiers and replaced head coach Sito Alonso with Janis Gailitis in the middle of the first phase.
Israel Also Fighting for Survival
Like their upcoming opponents, Israel's chances of qualifying for Qatar next year are minimal, winning just two out of seven encounters so far and sitting bottom of Group K.
They have had a lot of problems with their roster, with star player Deni Avdija missing all the qualifying games, and those two victories came against one of the weakest European sides, Cyprus.
On Thursday, Israel "hosted" Poland on neutral ground in Riga and suffered a convincing 106-86 defeat, lacking aggression while defending and allowing 60% FG shooting from the opposition, while they had just 42%. Veteran Roman Sorkin had an amazing display here, finishing with 26 points and five rebounds.
Verdict
Both sides allowed 100+ points in their last clashes, and I am predicting another fast-paced basketball clash in Riga. Over 164.5 points is the best bet.
