Teams Preview
Argentina Preview
Argentina enter this contest in good form after taking an 80-68 road win over Cuba. The frontcourt duo of Francisco Caffaro and Gonzalo Corbalan anchored the win. Caffaro finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds on 7/11 shooting, dominating inside on both ends. Corbalan added 19 points, hitting 7 of his 14 shots and providing four assists. Their energy around the rim, combined with 17 offensive rebounds, ensured Argentina controlled second-chance points.
Across their last five games, Argentina are averaging 76.8 points scored and 66.6 points conceded, showing consistency on both ends. Their perimeter defense held Cuba to long stretches without scoring, and the bench played an important role by contributing 27 points.
Facundo Campazzo added valuable tempo control, while Juan Fernandez and Gabriel Deck both chipped in with eight apiece. Argentina’s interior strength, experience, and strong bench rotation should make them even more effective at home in Buenos Aires.
Cuba Preview
Cuba fought hard in the first meeting but could not keep up with Argentina’s physicality and scoring depth, ultimately losing 68-80. Karel Guzman was their standout performer with 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, despite shooting 7/18 from the field.
Pedro Bombino also contributed well with 12 points and 9 rebounds, but Cuba struggled for scoring outside their top options. Marcos Chacon added 14 points but needed 17 shots to get there, while others like Tito Casero, Reynaldo Garcia, and Hechavarría were inconsistent.
Their struggles reflected in the overall numbers. Cuba recorded only 9 assists, compared to Argentina’s 18, and turned the ball over 13 times. They did win the offensive rebounding battle (18), but they failed to capitalize, scoring fewer second-chance points (10) than Argentina (15).
Across their last five games, Cuba are averaging 62.8 points scored and 79.4 points conceded, highlighting their defensive issues.

ARGENTINA vs CUBA
Winning PredictionArgentina enter this home fixture as clear favorites based on form, quality, and matchup history. Their superior ball movement, interior scoring, and defensive structure should once again trouble a Cuban team that relies heavily on individual shot creation. Playing in Buenos Aires only magnifies Argentina’s strengths, and unless Cuba find unexpected three-point accuracy, the hosts should be in control.
