Group A: Türkiye vs Serbia for number one
We're down to the wire in Group A where it's still left to decide who takes the top spot and who'll be the fourth team advancing. Türkiye and Serbia are about to take part in what will be the derby of the event so far, with both teams unbeaten at 4-0 and Alperen Sengun going up against Nikola Jokic. Excitement doesn't stop there as Estonia and Portugal will battle it out amongst themselves for the last spot in the Round of 16 - both are at 1-3 and it's a winner takes all situation. Furthermore, hosts Latvia will take on eliminated Czechia.

A win would take Estonia to the EuroBasket knockout stages for the first time since 1993. Portugal is aiming for the same but need to win multiple preliminary round games for the first time ever.
Czechia are still winless at FIBA EuroBasket 2025 and will try to avoid going out of the tournament without a single victory for the first time since 2007.
Serbia's stellar defense has seen their opponents score fewer than 40 percent of their attempted FG in each of their four games at FIBA EuroBasket 2025.

Group B: Montenegro decide their fate
Things in Group B are not solved yet with three teams in race for the fourth Round of 16 qualification spot in addition to Germany, Finland and Lithuania, but Montenegro are holding the keys. If Nikola Vucevic and co beat still winless Great Britain, that's it and Sweden can't make it, even if they manage to overcome Lithuania at a later time.
