Teams Preview
Slovenia Preview
Slovenia are back to winning form after losing to Estonia in the campaign opener. They beat Sweden and Czech Republic in successive games to reach second spot in the table. Slovenia thrashed Czech 99-59 at home court and stepped up for the next round qualification in the 2027 FIBA World Cup European Qualifiers. Three teams will qualify from Group H and Slovenia are expected to cross the line first.
Slovenia were shooting 48% from the floor and 43% from the three-point line. They out-rebounded the opposition 40-36. They had the biggest lead of 43 points and never trailed in the game. Slovenia are leading in the scoring average (95.3) across European teams in the qualifiers. They rank fifth in steals per game (8.7). Slovenia allowed 78.7 points in the European qualifiers which is less than the EuroBasket. The blowout victory against Czech gave them a huge confidence.
In the previous game, only three players reached double figures including one from the bench. Ziga Samar again led the scoring with 19 points, while Gregor Hrovat went for 17 points. Joksimovic chipped in with 15 points and six rebounds off the bench. Hrovat could be an offensive threat with his previous performances. The JDA Dijon guard averaged 16.4 points in France Pro A and scored 17 or more points eight times in the last 13 games. We back Hrovat to drop 20 or more points in this fixture.
Sweden Preview
Sweden are back in Slovenia for the crucial fixture in the 2027 FIBA World Cup European Qualifiers. They dropped the first three games in the qualifying round. They are the only team in Group H to lose against all three teams. Sweden will be eliminated if they lose one more game in the remaining two. They made it into the round of 16 in the EuroBasket last year but looked sloppy with their shooting in World Cup qualifiers.
Sweden were shooting 93% from the floor and 88% from the three-point line. It was an impressive performance in the offense but still, not better than Estonia. They rank seventh in the field goal percentage (46.1%) and eight in the three-points made per game (11). Despite great offensive numbers, Sweden didn’t open their account in the group stage. Defense is the big reason behind their poor show as they allowed 93 points on average. They are also averaging 15.3 turnovers per game in the European qualifiers.
Ludde Hakanson was the top performer for the hosts in the last game with a team-high 21 points. Melwin Pantzar went for 16 points, while Pierre Hampton chipped in with 13 points and seven rebounds. Bagala also contributed 10 points off the bench. Hakanson could be an offensive threat in the road fixture. The Badalona guard averaged 23.3 in the European qualifiers, including one 30-point outburst. We back Hakanson to score 25 points in the upcoming fixture against Slovenia.
