Spain’s depth, experience, and control in half-court situations give them the edge. Ukraine’s intensity and defense should keep it competitive early, but Spain’s ball movement and late-game execution are likely to create separation. Expect Spain to pull away in the second half and win. We are backing Spain to win this matchup.
