Latvia will be playing their final three matches in the women’s EuroBasket qualifiers and their first assignment is against Slovenia, who beat them in the opener. Meanwhile, Latvia won two straight matches to reach at the top spot in Group B. They enter the home contest with a 89-47 victory against Estonia. One more victory will give them an assurance to reach the next round. Meanwhile, Latvia qualified for the previous edition of EuroBasket but didn’t cross the first round.
Latvia didn’t allow Estonia to cross 16 points in each quarter. They had the biggest lead of 47 points in the game. The hosts were shooting 47% from the floor and 49% from the three-point line. Latvia are one of the best offensive sides in the ongoing European qualifiers with 81.3 PPG. They also improved a bit in the defense as they allowed 62 points in the qualifying round. It’s an improvement after a setback in EuroBasket.
Only two players recorded in double figures for Latvia. Kate Vilka scored 17 points and five assists, while Kitija Laksa went for 11 points and seven rebounds. Steinberga and Liepina added nine points each. Kate Vilka should be an offensive threat in this game. The forward averaged 13 points in the qualifying round. We back Vilka to score a double-double in this home fixture.
Slovenia head into the contest with a 76-86 defeat against the Netherlands. The visitors beat Latvia and Estonia in two back-to-back games, but suffered a loss in the third game. The Dutch now opened this group and each game will be a tough assignment. Slovenia will now take on Latvia again after beating them 77-66 in the opening game. Two teams will qualify from Group B and Slovenia are one of the main contenders to reach the next round.
Slovenia were shooting 46% from the floor and 26% from the three-point line. They were out-rebounded by the Dutch 27-34. They conceded the biggest lead of 21 points. Slovenia averaged 80.0 points in the qualifying round and allowed 72.3 points per game. They committed 21 turnovers in the game which allowed Netherlands to take control. Defensively, they had seven steals and two blocks.
Only two players reached double figures. Eva Lisec was the top performer in the last game with 20 points, while Zala Friskovec also went for 20 points. Teja Oblak chipped in with 15 points and six rebounds. Lisec could be an offensive threat with his previous performances. The 30-year-old center averaged 17.6 points in qualifiers, including two 20-point outbursts. We back her to drop 15 or more points in this fixture.
