The Brazilian national team is pretty good by the standards of the South American teams. The Brazilians, under experienced Croatian specialist Aleksandar Petrovic, have several players with NBA experience. Gui Santos is still playing overseas, while Bruno Caboclo, Cristiano Felicio, Marcelinho Huertas, and Raul Neto have played there before.
In the opening game of qualification, the Brazilians showed they were the real deal, beating Montenegro 81:72. However, in the second match, they faced an unexpected turn of events, losing to Cameroon 74:77.
Philippines
The Philippines, approaching the qualification without Jordan Clarkson, found themselves in the status of a clear underdog. However, in the first match, the team of American coach Tim Cone defied the odds and defeated Latvia 89:80. In the second match against Georgia, the main thing for the Filipinos was not to lose by a large score, which they managed, failing by only two points—94:96. This outsider story adds an element of thrill to the game.
Expert Betting Tips
Jordan Clarkson's absence weakened the Filipinos, but the first qualification round showed they were ready to fight even without their leader. As Cameroon showed in the previous game, Brazil is not a top team today. We think the odds on the Brazilians are too low, and we're betting on the Philippines. If Tim Cone's team can beat a strong Latvian team, they can defeat the Brazilians, who are weaker than the Latvians.
