The match

Serbia would have come to China for the FIBA Basketball World Cup with a clear idea of how to defeat USA. They did indeed beat them, but the very fact that it came in a qualification match speaks volumes about the disappointment. However, they would now look to finish fifth by defeating the surprise package of the tournament – Czech Republic, who in their very first tournament as an independent nation have exceeded expectations. Serbia came out of the group stage with expected wins, as they brushed aside Angola, Philippines, and Italy. Puerto Rico were also brushed aside, but Serbia followed that up with consecutive losses to Spain (81-69) and Argentina (97-87). Serbia overcame that disappointment with a 94-89 win over USA. Czech started the tournament with a loss to USA in the first group stage, before winning over Japan and Turkey. The second stage saw them lose to Australia and Greece to qualify for the fifth-eighth qualification matches. With a 94-84 win over Poland, they earned the right to play for fifth.

Key Statistics

  • Serbia have won four of their six matches this tournament, although they have lost two of their last three.
  • Czech have lost three of their six matches this tournament.
  • Serbia are ranked fourth in the world, while Czech are ranked 24th.

The bet of our experts

Serbia dominated USA in their previous match, even going up by 25 points at the end of the first quarter. However, they slacked up a little allowing the opponents to come back into the game. Although Serbia won the match eventually, it was a stark reminder of how seriously they need to take these qualification matches. As for Czech Republic, it is already a big moment to be fighting for the fifth place. They have surprised everyone with their run this tournament. However, that looks set to be stopped as Serbia is expected to push it past the Czechs and finish fifth.
