Teams Preview
Canada
Canada are ready for their first assignment in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers as they will take on the hosts, Türkiye. Canada recently participated in the FIBA AmeriCup where they finished third in the competition following a 76-75 overtime win over Argentina. Canada lost the semifinals to the strongest team in the world, USA. They will eye a World Cup qualification for another season. Last time, Canada reached the semifinals in the World Cup.
Canada are the strong contenders to get an early qualification from their respective group. They were scoring 74.3 points per game and allowing 55.8 points per game. They lacked most in three-point shooting but ranked third in field goals. Canada led in free throw percentage (80.7%). They ranked first in rebounds (54.9) and second in blocks per game (4.4). Canada currently have the strong odds for the World Cup qualification.
Three players reached double figures for Canada in the AmeriCup 3rd-place off. Syla Swords was the top performer with 23 points. Sami Hill went for 16 points, while Kayla Alexander dropped 13 points and 13 rebounds. Considering the offensive threat from Canada, Alexander could also be a player to watch out for. The 35-year-old center averaged 10.3 PPG in Women’s AmeriCup 2025. We are backing her to score 15 or more points in this fixture.
Turkey
Turkey will be home for the qualifying round of 2026 FIBA World Cup. They will play all their qualifying games at home court which can help them to finish in the top-four in their respective group. Türkiye had a quarterfinal run in the 2025 EuroBasket where they lost to Italy. They would be proud of themselves as they showed great numbers in the competition. The hosts didn't qualify for the 2022 event so their ultimate target is to participate in the FIBA World Cup next year. However, it won't be easy for them.
Türkiye will face tough competition in their respective groups. The top four teams will go through the main event. They are placed with teams like Australia and Argentina so there will be tough battles. Turkey averaged a tournament-high 81.5 points per game in the 2025 EuroBasket and allowed 77.7 points per game. They ranked fourth in the rebounds (38.4) and second in field goals (47.6%). They led in three-point shooting (40%). However, defense was slightly a concern for them and it cost them the potential semifinals in EuroBasket.
Following the EuroBasket campaign, Türkiye also played an international friendly with AfroBasket champions Nigeria and secured a 77-76 win. In the final game of the EuroBasket, they outclassed Lithuania. Sevgi Uzun and Teaira McCowan scored 22 points each in the victory. Six players reached double figures. If we find out the offensive threat in the upcoming fixture, Teaira McCowan's name is right up there. The center averaged 16.8 points in the EuroBasket. We back her to score 15 or more points in the upcoming fixture.
