Germany plays Latvia in the quarter-finals of the FIBA ​​World Cup 2023 in Manila, Philippines on Wednesday, September 6. This is a knockout game for both teams, who advanced to the quarter-finals during the weekend and will now look to book their ticket to the semi-finals.

Head To Head
Germany lead the series 3-1 since 2009
Germany won 85-80 when the teams last met in August 2015

The Germans took over after the opening quarter and decimated Slovenia (100-71) to finish on top of Group K. They showed once again why they are considered a heavy favorite for a podium finish and a strong competition to Team USA.

This Latvia team loves an upset, and were able to pull off the herculean task of beating Sergio Scariolo's Spain in a famous sweep over Group L against more established teams, such as Brazil and Spain. Thinking Latvia are at the quarter finals by mistake would be a huge misconception, as the Baltic team had to work hard to get there, featuring wins over medal favorites France, Spain, Brazil, and Lebanon. Behind incredible performances by Arturs Zagars and OKC player Davis Bertans, Latvia became the smallest country to ever qualify for the FIBA ​​World Cup quarter-finals.

For their part, the Latvians used an impressive third-quarter performance (21-36) to rally past Brazil (84-104) and advance to the Top-8 in their maiden FIBA ​​World Cup appearance.

Their achievement is remarkable given they are playing without two of their stars, as Kristaps Porzingis and Dairis Bertans have been sidelined with injuries.
