Turkey takes on the Czech Republic on Friday, August 29, at the Riga Arena in Latvia.
The last time that these two teams battled it out during the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in 2021, Turkey handily won, 87-70. Heading into Friday's game, Turkey might have the upper hand again.
Buoyed by a great defensive stand, Turkey is coming off an impressive 93-73 victory over Latvia. Cedi Osman caught fire from three-point territory early on, and finished with a game-high 20 markers. Kenan Sipahi also went bonkers from deep, making all his five three-pointers on his way to 19 points.
NBA All-Star Alperen Sengun produced an all-around performance of 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Shane Larkin contributed 15 points. Most importantly, Turkey's defense locked down Latvia's stars. They held Kristaps Porzingis to only 25% shooting and forced him to commit six turnovers.
On the other hand, the Czech Republic sustained a difficult 62-50 loss to Portugal. Vit Krejci was the lone Czech player to reach double digits in scoring (10 points). As a team, they only shot 29.1% from the floor.
Moreover, they failed to stop Portugal's big man Neemias Queta, who put up 23 points and 18 rebounds.

Our Turkiye vs Czechia Prediction
The Czech Republic had a very difficult time stopping Portugal's Neemias Queta in their opening game loss. Now, imagine how they could contain Turkish big man Alperen Sengun, who is more skilled.
It's not just Sengun who they will put a stop to. Turkey's wing players Cedi Osman and Kenan Sipahi torched the nets with their stellar shooting during their 93-73 win over Latvia. Our prediction for the Turkey vs Czech Republic match is: Turkiye (-18.5) cover the spread.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
