The European Pre-Qualifiers mean a lot as the spots for the FIBA World Cup 2023 are at stake. This will be another battle between European squads as Portugal takes on Sweden. More about PRG vs SWN Dream 11 will be given below.
Both teams are coming in after thrashing Luxembourg and both teams are looking in great form at both ends. Sweden has a balanced lineup and they fight hard on boards while both teams shoot a ton of threes. The Portugal defense must pin down the ball-handler Hakanson as he can launch some tough passes and help bolster the scoring output of Sweden. However, both teams are not far off in terms of rankings with Sweden at 57 and Portugal at 58, indicating how tight this game can be. Another example of a close match is when the Portuguese last met Swedish men they managed just a 2-point win indicating this can be another such attritional battle.
Match Timing: 16 August, @ 10:30 PM Venue: Matosinhos, Portgual
The game will occur at Matosinhos, which is in Portugal.
