Teams Preview
Slovenia Preview
Slovenia head into the contest with a 94-83 victory against Sweden in the 2027 FIBA World Cup European Qualifiers. It was a much-needed win after a narrow one-point defeat to Estonia. The hosts outscored Sweden 31-16 to make an early advantage. Three teams will qualify from Group H and Slovenia are one of the main contenders to reach the next round. They will play back-to-back matches against the Czech.
Slovenia were shooting 49% from the floor and 37% from the three-point line. They out-rebounded the opposition 33-23. They had the biggest lead of 17 points and never trailed in the game. Slovenia averaged 93.5 in the qualifying round which is third-best in Europe. They rank second in steals per game (11). Slovenia allowed 88.5 points in the European qualifiers which is less than the EuroBasket. Still, it's huge compared to other teams.
Slovenia rely on multiple players in their lineup and their bench also contributes. In the previous game, six players reached double figures including two from the bench. Ziga Samar led the scoring with 16 points, while Gregor Glass went for 15 points. Glass could be an offensive threat with his previous performances. The Vienna guard averaged 13.5 in qualifiers and scored 23 points each in the previous two games in the league. We back Gregor Glass to drop 15 or more points in this fixture.
Czechia Preview
The Czech Republic have two assignments in the 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifiers. They will play two consecutive matches against Slovenia which will decide their fate in Group H. Czechia are coming off a 97-92 victory against Estonia. They have won both games in the group stage. One more victory will give them an assurance to reach the next round. Meanwhile, Czech failed to win a single game in the EuroBasket last year.
The Czech were trailing by five points with 3:28 left in the game but the visitors went on a 10-0 closing run to win the game. Czechia were shooting 54% from the floor and 46% from the three-point line. They are the best offensive side in the ongoing European qualifiers with 97.0 PPG. Meanwhile, they looked slightly down in the defense as they allowed 86 points in the qualifying round. It’s an improvement after a setback in EuroBasket.
Four out of five starters recorded in double figures for Czech. Tomas Satoransky notched up a double-double with 18 points and 16 assists. Ondrej Sehnal went for 15 points off the bench, Balint and Hruban chipped in with 11 points each. Satoransky should be an offensive threat in this game. The Barca Basket guard averaged 17 points in the qualifying round. We back Satoransky to score a double-double in this road fixture.
