Before Betting on Spain vs Angola

Spain completely smothered Lebanon in their first qualifying match, showcasing the differences in the two teams’ abilities. Experience competing at a high level was a clear advantage for Spain, who finished +10 in turnover differential and total rebounds. They also shot at an efficient clip, making 57% of shots from the field and 43% from deep. Usman Garuba went 7-9 for 25 points in a stellar performance off the bench.

Angola faces their first match of the qualifying round in this clash against Spain, and will have a tremendous challenge to stay in it. Spain completely dominated Lebanon and will have a similar advantage in experience over Angola. To have any chance of winning, Angola will need to find a way to break down Spain’s offensive scheme using their size.
