Germany vs Latvia Prediction: Expect a bright game

The Latvian national team's fairy tale will probably end on Wednesday, but they will please us once again with a bright game. However, just like Germany - there is someone to take an example from.

The Germans have not scored less than 100 points in their last three games, and their average scoring output is 93 and a half points per game. As for the defense, Australia scored 82, while the other opponents, including Slovenia, have never scored more than 75 for Germany. It turns out that the German national team concedes less than 73 points on average per game. Bookmakers, of course, consider Herbert's wards as favorites.

It is even interesting whether their opponents are capable of conceding so much. Let's find out.

The Brazilians, who averaged 84 points at the tournament, scored exactly that many points against Latvia. Canada scored more than a hundred to Latvia. It's interesting that Spain, which had scored 275 points in three games before the game with Latvia, scored only 69 points in the game with Latvia - it was the best defense of Luca Banca's wards; even Lebanon scored 70 points.

Latvia is averaging 82 points at the tournament, but in three games out of five, they have allowed more than that.

Bookmakers believe Latvia will probably score at least 10 points less against the Germans.

Bookmakers expect a decrease in Latvia's performance not only because of Germany's defensive performance but also because the last (and first) time the Latvians scored 80.5 in a face-to-face match was precisely 20 years ago - on September 6, 2003. However, the Germans scored 89 against Latvia in a test match long ago.

So, both teams are efficient and average 183 and a half points per game. Let's assume that Latvia will decrease its efficiency by 10 points. Let's also suppose that Germany drops slightly, but the probability of a productive match is still high.
