The match

It is a match of the two laggards in Group B of the FIBA Basketball World Cup, as South Korea take on Nigeria with both sides boasting a similar P2, L2 record. Korea started their tournament with a 69-95 loss to Argentina and then followed it up with a slightly more closer 73-87 loss to Russia. Both the losses, however, were on the expected lines and deserving. With knockout qualification out of sight, Korea will be gearing up for the 17th to 32nd classification games. The Koreans made a slight improvement in the match against Russia, even clawing back to within three points by the end of first half. However, a very poor third quarter where they lost by 11 points ended any hopes of an upset. With a negative differential of 40 points so far, Korea look more like a punching bag than a strong competitor. Nigeria would be disappointed at the way things have shaped up, losing both their matches and bowing out of contention. An 82-77 loss to Russia started their league engagements, followed by a 94-81 loss to Argentina. In both the matches, Nigeria showed glimpses of their potential, but inconsistency marred their chances.

Key Statistics

  • Both teams lost their matches to Russia and Argentina, and are out of contention for the knockouts.
  • Nigeria have a point differential of negative 18.
  • Korea have a point differential of negative 40.

The bet of our experts

This match will decide who will finish third in the group. With the classification matches for the lower levels up next, both South Korea and Nigeria would try to win the match. Expect a match with attacking basketball and probably a high-scorer. If you are looking at points, try and pick an over 175 points for this match. As for the result, Nigeria are in a better shape at the moment, compared to Korea. While the African side has ran both their opponents close, Korea looked pedestrian in their matches.
