Teams Preview

Slovakia

Slovakia are back to the finale point as they will take on Romania again after defeating them in November. They dropped only two games out of five and both defeats came against Poland. Slovakia are coming off a 75-44 victory against Cyprus in the qualifiers. The hosts are one step away from finishing in top-two in the respective group. They didn’t allow Cyprus to score 20 points in a single quarter. The winner of upcoming game will take the second spot and qualify for next stage 

Slovakia qualified in the previous EuroBasket and reached the final round. They will play their final games at home and they hold an advantage against Romania. The hosts shot 39% from the floor and 41% from the three-point line. They are scoring 71 points and allowing 59 points per game. Slovakia thrashed out the opposition 52-25 in the rebounding battle in the last game. 

Three players recorded double figures for Slovakia in the last game. Nikola Dudasova was the top scorer with 16 points and five rebounds. Rebeka Mikulasikova went for 15 points and nine rebounds. Kyra Lambert chipped in with 10 points, while Terezia Palenikiva dropped nine points and 10 assists. If we look for the offensive threat in the upcoming fixture, Palenikova’s name is right up there. The 30-year-old averaged 18 points in the qualifiers. We back her to score 15 or more points in the upcoming fixture. 

Romania

Romania head into the most important contest of the FIBA EuroBasket qualifiers with a 50-75 loss to Poland, the team who remains unbeaten so far. The Romanian national team will lock horns against Slovakia in the final game which will decide the second team from Group C. The visitors dropped three out of five games, including a defeat to Slovakia. Victory in the final game can erase all previous results. Only two teams will cross the line from this group. 

Romania were shooting 32% from the floor and 40% from the three-point line. They were out-rebounded 33-45 and were out-assisted 8-25. Defensively, they recorded ten steals and four blocks. Romania have allowed less than 30% from three in the qualifying campaign. However, they struggled a bit in offense with just 57.2 points per game. They are forcing more than 15 turnovers per game in the season, including season-high 27 in the road game against Poland. 

Only two players reached double figures in the previous game. Bianca Fota led the offense with 22 points, while Katy Armanu continued her top show with 18 points and three rebounds. Armanu could also be an offensive threat in the upcoming fixture. She averaged 11.6 points in the EuroBasket qualifiers. We back Katy to score 15 or more points in the home fixture against Slovakia.
