We are into the European Pre-Qualifiers and this is a race for the FIBA World Cup in 2023 In this match-up, Latvia and Romania square off to further their basketball ambitions. More about LAT vs ROM Dream 11 will be given below.
Latvia is an in-form team and it comes as no surprise as the Wizards Forward and sharpshooter Davis Bertans is wreaking havoc along with his brother Dairis. Latvia has won both of their games so far and has beaten Romania with a wide margin earlier. Now, the team will battle against each other once again and it is clear that the in-form Latvia will pose a lot of problems to a flailing Romanian team that also lost its game against Belarus. For Romania, issues have surfaced on both sides of the floor and no one player has been able to gain any sort of consistency. Latvia won both of their games comfortably and sit in a comfortable position in this Group D battle and it is clear they have an overwhelming advantage in this game.
