EuroBasket 2025 Group A action continues on September 3 in Riga, where the Czech Republic faces Latvia in the final round of group play.

The Czechs enter at 0-4 and are already eliminated from knockout contention, while Latvia sits at 2-2 and looks to build momentum heading into the Round of 16.

Czech Republic Form & Team News

Czech Republic’s campaign has been difficult from the start, as they dropped all four of their opening games against Portugal, Turkey, Estonia and Serbia. 

The average losing margin of more than 15 points reflects their struggles at both ends of the floor.

Injuries have severely hampered the team. Without key veterans Jan Vesely and Tomas Satoransky, the Czechs have lacked leadership and creation. 

Further setbacks came with Andrejs Grazulis and Arturs Zagars sidelined during group play, leaving the squad even thinner.

With no path to the knockouts, this final game could be an opportunity for coach Ronen Ginzburg to give more minutes to younger players and test different rotations. Expect an experimental lineup rather than a polished performance.

Latvia Form & Team News

Latvia, one of the tournament’s co-hosts, has shown resilience despite ups and downs. 

Their 2-2 record includes solid wins but also inconsistency, particularly with perimeter shooting. Still, their rebounding presence and overall depth have helped them stay competitive.

Playing in front of the home fans in Riga gives Latvia a strong boost, and with qualification already secured, this matchup is a chance to sharpen their execution before tougher challenges in the knockout rounds.

Latvia holds the recent edge, winning two of the last three meetings between the nations.
