Canada vs Slovenia FIBA World Cup match preview

In the quarterfinal showdown of the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Canada faces off against Slovenia, promising an intense battle between two formidable teams.

Canada, led by NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, has surged to become the second favourite in the tournament. They’ve showcased their prowess by winning three out of three in the first group phase, notably crushing fourth-ranked France with a 30-point lead.

However, a narrow 69-65 loss to Brazil in the second group phase was their only stumble. Canada bounced back by eliminating defending champion Spain with an 88-85 victory, solidifying their position.

Slovenia, on the other hand, has reached the quarterfinals for the first time since 2014.

They started the tournament on fire, winning four straight games, including a remarkable 91-80 victory over third-ranked Australia, under the leadership of scoring sensation Luka Doncic. Unfortunately, they succumbed to a heavy 100-71 defeat to Germany in their recent match, ending their winning streak.

Canada vs Slovenia FIBA betting prediction

While Slovenia relies heavily on Doncic’s brilliance, Canada boasts a deeper and more versatile squad. They’ve already defeated tournament favourites like France and Spain. Our prediction leans towards Canada’s advantage, expecting them to cover the -8.5 point spread paying a -111.11 with the top bookmakers.

If you are looking for a little more value, consider placing Canada to cover the spread at -8.5, the total points to under 177.5, RJ Barrett (Candad) to score 15+ points and Luka Doncic (Slovenia) to score 20+ points for a total return of +675 with BoomBet.

With Canada’s well-rounded team and impressive recent form, they should secure a spot in the semi-finals by outperforming Slovenia, who have played a slightly weaker schedule.
