Teams Preview

Brazil

Brazil head into the contest with two consecutive victories against Chile in the FIBA Americas qualifiers. They defeated Chile 78-62 in the most recent game and claimed the top position in Group C. Brazil will play two back-to-back home matches in the current window. Their first assignment is against Venezuela. The Yellow Outfit are the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup champions. 

Brazil were leading 47-25 at halftime against Chile. It was a convincing victory for them. The Hosts would look to extend their winning run. They have averaged 81 points in the last ten games and won the first half seven out of eight times. They rank 7th in the field goal (45.7%) and 10th in the three-point line shooting (35.1%). They have allowed 30.2% from three-point range. Brazil have forced 11 turnovers per game in the qualifying event. 

The American champions shot 49% from the floor and 36% from the three-point line in the previous game. Brazil won the rebounding battle 38-23. Alexey Borges was the top performer in the win with a game-high 18 points and GD Paula went for 17 points and 7 rebounds. Paula has scored at least 20 points in three of the last five games in the Brazil NBB 2025-26. We back him to be an offensive threat against Venezuela and score a minimum 15 points in the qualifying game. 

Venezuela

Venezuela will resume their campaign for the 2027 FIBA World Cup Americas Qualifiers. They are coming off a 78-80 loss to Colombia in the only game in Group C. Their second game was postponed against Colombia. Venezuela were leading by four points with two minutes to go. Roque and Atencia dropped back-to-back three-pointers to snatch a victory. Their next FIBA qualifier assignment is against the American champion, Brazil. 

Venezuela faced group exit in the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup as they lost two out of three group round games. Three teams will qualify for the next round from their respective group so every game is crucial. Venezuela ranks sixth in the free throw percentage (77.8%) and eighth in the three-point shooting (35.7%). The visitors were shooting 44% from the floor and 35% from the three-point range. 

Venezuela’s offence was led by Wind Graterol with 17 points and five rebounds. Yeferson Guerra went for 16 points, while Michael Carrera chipped in with 12 points. Guerra could be an offensive threat for Brazil as he scored in double digits in his previous three games at Argentina Liga Nacional. We back the guard to reach 15 points in the upcoming qualifier fixture.
