Teams Preview

Luxembourg

Luxembourg will be at home for a crucial game in the pre-qualifying event of FIBA EuroBasket. They enter the matchup with a 70-79 defeat to table toppers, North Macedonia. Luxembourg started the campaign with two straight victories over Ireland and Azerbaijan. With a 2-1 record, they take the second spot in the respective group. They had a third-round exit in the 2025 EuroBasket pre-qualifiers. Luxembourg also lost three out of four qualifying games in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers. 

Luxembourg are third in the scoring average (84.7) in the pre-qualifiers this season. They are allowing 82.0 points per game in the ongoing competition. With 45.8% shooting, they are second in the field goal percentage. Luxembourg also ranks second in the three-point shooting (41.6%). It means, they are the top offensive side in the pre-qualifiers. Luxembourg looked sloppy in the shooting against Macedonia with 39% from the floor and 21% from threes. 

Ben Kovac was the star performer in the game with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Clancy Rugg dropped 15 points, while MC Kreps added 12 points and six rebounds. Philippe Gutenkauf chipped in with 12 points and five rebounds. When it comes to finding an offensive threat from the visitors, Ben Kovac is right up there. The forward averaged 29 points in pre-qualifiers and scored 20 or more points in all three games. We back Kovac to score 25 or more points in the upcoming fixture. 

Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan will be hosting North Macedonia for a crucial showdown in the FIBA EuroBasket Pre-Qualifiers. The hosts have dropped two out of first three games, including a 49-87 against North Macedonia. They are coming off a 76-75 victory over Ireland. Azerbaijan built an early lead and kept it throughout the game. Every game is crucial in the pre-qualifiers so Azerbaijan can’t afford a loss here. 

Azerbaijan shot 43% from the floor and 50% from the three-point line. They were edged out by the opposition 36-41 in the rebounding battle. The hosts on Monday allowed 85.7 points on average in the pre-qualifiers and scored 71.7. They rank third in the three-points made (11.7). They are second in the blocks per game (3.3).

Wesley Van Beck led the scoring in the last game with 20 points and 6 rebounds. Kamran Mammadov added 18 points and eight assists. Amil Hamzayev dropped 11 points, while Saadettin Donat contributed ten points. If we talk about the offensive threat, Van Beck comes first in our mind.
