Teams Preview

Czechia

The host nation, Czech Republic Women, despite finishing third in Group I with a 2-4 record, advanced to the main tournament by virtue of being the tournament hosts. They will undoubtedly have a lot to prove in front of their home crowd.

Petra Holesinska led Czechia in scoring during the qualifying round with 15 points per game. However, the true impact player was Julia Reisingerova, who contributed 12.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game, though she also had a somewhat high turnover rate with four per contest.

Emma Cechova is another key contributor for the Czech Republic, averaging close to 10 points per game, along with 6.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and one steal per game. These three players are crucial to the host nation's offense if they hope to make a competitive run in the tournament.

In the qualifying round, the Czech Republic's offense averaged 55.3 points per game, shooting 32.5% from the field with an overall efficiency rating of 77.5. They also displayed a relatively low three-point shooting percentage of 18.8%.

Montenegro

Montenegro Women topped Group H in the EuroBasket Qualifiers with 10 points, boasting a 4-2 record. They also participated in the Indian Ocean Island Games Women's Basketball tournament, where they won four out of five matches. This strong recent form positions them as the in-form team in Group C entering this tournament.

However, Montenegro will be without key players Natasha Mack, who averaged 13.5 points per game, and Taya Davis-Reimer, both missing the main tournament. This leaves a significant void on their offense, with increased responsibility falling on Marija Lekovic (8.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists per game) and Milica Jovanovic (6.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game). Both players will need to step up on the offensive end.

Bojana Kovacevic, who averaged 10.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, will play a major role in scoring in the paint and defensively, focusing on rebounding and guarding the offensive threat posed by Czechia's center.

In the qualifiers, Montenegro Women's offense averaged 77.5 points per game, ranking them eighth overall. They shot 43.5% from the field, 30.6% from three-point range, and recorded an overall efficiency rating of 62.2%.
