Since Minnesota is at home, the total over here looks much better. They should use their good offense here in Minnesota to try to avoid the defensive basketball that suits the guests so well. The Lynx are in fantastic form and simply dominate their opponents, and one of the reasons is their stable and good offense. The teams played against each other 20 days ago and scored only 143 points, but the pace was not bad, they just lacked accuracy from the same Valkyries. But Minnesota controlled the game, so they should also maintain control, but I expect better shooting percentages.

After a long drought of championships, the Croatian basketball team is very determined to play at the World Championship. The stable roster of players that Croatia has been able to gather together for this occasion is what has made this possible. Even though their chance of winning is almost 100%, the game against Latvia is still important for Croatia, especially when playing at home. Not to mention the huge difference in strength between the two teams, as the Latvians have a lack of key players on their team while the Croatians have everything they need. The friendly game between the two also showed how weak the Latvian team is and how strong the Croatian team is. Playing at home, the Croatians have been dominating the qualifiers and winning against all opponents, including the European champions. This makes it difficult for the Latvian team to see a chance of avoiding a double-digit loss.

Israel is a rather weak national team, which is also unable to play in their own country, which is a huge disadvantage for this team. The Poles, as always, wearing their national team jerseys, become Jordanians, and the addition of Loyd to the team strongly tilts the scales in favor of the Polish team in these matches. The results of friendly matches do not bring much joy to the Poles, but we all know how they change in official matches, and the opponent is very favorable - Peru.

We have all seen the lineup and game of the Lithuanian national team, which did not bring any positive emotions and does not give us any chance of defeating the Turks. Despite the fact that the Turks who have won all qualifying matches will not have Sengun, realistically all other players are European vice-champions, and at home they must deal calmly with such a Lithuanian lineup and coaching staff. Just a year ago, the Turks even lost to Lithuania, when the Lithuanian lineup was much stronger. In the European championship, as well as in the World Cup qualifying round, it is very common for the Turks to have a double-digit handicap, so it is difficult to expect a different result, even when the ball is round.
