Canada vs Latvia Preview & Picks

Canada are tipped to cover as they clinch top spot in the group.

The Canadians came into the tournament with plenty of hype, and have so far lived up to their billing.

  • Canada are 2-0 at the FIBA World Cup so far
  • Canada are 2-0-0 ATS at the 2023 World Cup
  • The Under has hit in 1 of Canada’s first 2 games

Head To Head

  • This is the first meeting between the two teams

Canada Form

Canada come into their final group game having already secured a place in the second round group stage.

The Canadians made a statement in their opening game as they impressively knocked off a leading contender.

A dominant third quarter performance saw them put France to the sword as they ran out 95-65 winners.

Canada then backed up that victory when they face the ‘whipping boys’ of the group, Lebanon, last time out.

No less than nine players hit double digits in scoring as they made straightforward work of the matchup, winning 128-73.

Latvia Form

Latvia have secured surprise qualification to the second round by winning their first two group games.

It was no real shock that they opened their campaign with a one-sided blowout of Lebanon, winning 109-70.

However, the surprise came in their second outing as they knocked off a France team who were considered a favourite before the tournament started.

Latvia did their damage in the fourth quarter as they out-scored the French 26-12 to pull away and secure an 88-86 win.

Arturs Zagars and Roland Smits were the stars of the show, scoring 22 points and 20 points respectively in the win.

Verdict

Canada have established themselves as a major threat to the United States.

They boast a perfect win and cover records so far, and from what we have seen they look more than capable of another win and cover here.
