Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroBasket 2025 qualifying match.
These teams recently delivered one of the most thrilling games of the entire qualification process. The Spanish side, under pressure not to make any errors, clinched victory only in the second overtime (76:72). What can we expect from their upcoming encounter?
Spain
Throughout the qualification, the hosts have been facing significant offensive problems, averaging just 68 points per game. Their main issue lies in shot conversion, hitting only 39.8% of their two-pointers and 28% from beyond the arc. Even from the free-throw line, Spain have only managed a 62.7% success rate.
Slovakia
Slovakia's situation is even more dire. They average less than 62 points per game with dismal shooting percentages. Their accuracy from the three-point line is a mere 25%, and their two-point conversion is not much better at 43.4%. Additionally, Slovakia struggle with ball movement, committing more than 15 turnovers per game.
Spain vs Slovakia Prediction
Their previous matchup made it clear that neither team is likely to rack up a high score. Even with two overtimes, the total was just 148 points. We anticipate the numbers will be even lower in this game, considering the energy both teams expended in their last encounter.
