Latvia vs Philippines Prediction: There is no doubt about Latvia's chances

Prediction for the Latvia vs Philippines match which will take place on July 3rd. W♑ho will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several b🌞etting options are available.

Kristaps Porzingis, the newly crowned NBA champion wi🌜th the Boston Celtics, did not play in the qualifying tournament and will not play in the Olympic finals, should the Latvian national team make it there. It's a significant loss, although Latvia can still expect to be successful without their star. Wit🔯h Italian specialist Luca Banca at the helm, Latvia has a quality squad with plenty of attacking potential. The Latvians proved this against Georgia.

The Philippines has not participated in the Olympic Games since 1972 and are unli♛kely to break that trend. The team may have a genuine star in Utah's Jordan Clarkson, but the other players are not up to his standard. Last summer's World Cup is a case in point. The Philippines beat China but lost four games, including Angola and South Sudan.

The P🌸hilippines played two friendlies before qualifying, losing to Turkey 73:84 and Poland 80:82. 

Even without Porzingis, the Latvians are far superior to the Philippines. But that's about it. Unlike their opponents, the Latvians don't have a player of Jordan Clarkson's level in their squad, and🌟 as the friendlies have shown, the Philippines can hold their own against the likes of Italy and Turkey. There is no doubt about Latvia's chances in this match, but the odds seem overpriced. We like the Philippines to win with a plus handicap. At the same time, we wou🗹ld like Latvia to win via TO so both teams can have a strong attack.
