Latvia pulled off an upset against Germany, grinding out a 4-3 win for their first Olympic victory since 2014.

My Denmark vs. Latvia predictions see them coming back down to earth against a hungry Danish squad.

Let’s break down my free betting picks for Sunday, February 15.

Denmark vs Latvia prediction

Denmark vs Latvia Best bet: Denmark moneyline (-130 at BET99)

Don’t let the scorelines fool you. Denmark is a more dangerous offensive team than Latvia. The Danes generated 17 slot shots and 34 slot attempts against Germany. Latvia had 12 slot shots and 14 attempts.

Denmark is better at controlling the run of play. They also possess highly skilled, productive wingers like Nik Ehlers and Oliver Bjorkstrand, who can convert opportunities into results – something Latvia lacks.

Since Latvia started Arturs Silovs on Saturday, they will likely turn to Elvis Merzlikins, who has not performed as well as Silovs in Goals Saved Above Expected this season. That’s a bonus for Denmark.

Denmark vs Latvia same-game parlay

Denmark moneyline

Under 5.5


Latvia has generated 16 inner-slot shot attempts across two games, creating a low volume of high-quality chances. A rested Frederik Andersen should be able to handle the few that come his way.

Expect Latvia to bunker down in front of Merzlikins and keep this game as low-event as possible, creating a good environment for an Under.
