Teams Preview

Slovakia

Slovakia are pumped up after two consecutive victories in the pre-qualifiers. They are coming off a 89-78 victory against Kosovo in the pre-qualifying event of FIBA EuroBasket. Slovakia started their campaign with a 73-63 victory over Albania. They take the top spot in the respective group and are likely to reach the next round. However, they had a rough campaign in the world cup qualifiers. Slovakia reached the main round of qualification in the 2025 EuroBasket but fell short. 

Slovakia are on a ten-game winning streak in the EuroBasket pre-qualifiers. Reaching the main qualification round won’t be tough for them. Slovakia were shooting 47% from the floor and 40% from the three-point line. They are scoring 81 points and allowing 70.5 points per game in pre-qualifiers. They rank seventh in the field goals percentage (41.7%) and second in offensive rebounds (16.5). They are third in the free throw percentage (72.1%). 

Three players recorded double figures for Slovakia in the last game. David DeJulius led the scoring with 26 points and eight assists. Dalibor Hlivak chipped in with 21 points, while Maros Golian went for a double-double with 18 points and 18 rebounds. If we find out the offensive threat in the upcoming fixture, DeJulius’ name is right up there. The guard averaged 26.0 points in pre-qualifiers and 15.2 points in Liga ACB. We back him to score 20 or more points in the upcoming fixture. 

Kosovo

Kosovo are coming off a 82-89 loss against Slovakia in the last game of the pre-qualifying event of FIBA EuroBasket. They started their campaign with a 99-84 victory over Albania. They take the bottom spot in the respective group and are likely to miss out on the next round. Meanwhile, they had a poor campaign in the world cup qualifiers. They reached the main round of qualification in the 2025 EuroBasket but fell short. 

Reaching the main qualification round won’t be easy for them. They were shooting 49.2% from the floor and 39.3% from the three-point line. They are scoring 88.5 points and allowing 86.5 points per game in pre-qualifiers. D Berisha led the scoring in the last game with 28 points. D Hajrizi went for a double-double with 19 points and 15 points. 

They have the field goals percentage with 49.1%. They are fifth in offensive rebounds (11.5). They are third in the free throw percentage (65.8%). If we find out the offensive threat in the upcoming fixture, D Berisha’s name is right up there. The guard averaged 31.5 points in pre-qualifiers. We back him to score 20 or more points in the upcoming fixture.
