Team Lebanon is a highly modest national team. The only famous basketball player on their roster is naturalized American Omari Spellman, who played over 80 games for Atlanta and Golden State a few years ago. But having a man from the other side of the ocean has not helped the Lebanese. They lost three friendlies to Lithuania before the start of the Olympic qualifiers - 71:100, 66:105, and 66:95.
Lebanon is a top team by Asian standards. For example, they reached the final of the last Asian Cup and will also participate in the World Cup in 2023—for the fourth time in their history.
Spain
Despite Ricky Rubio's absence, the team remains strong, with veterans Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Yul, the Hernangomez brothers, NBA players Santi Aldama and Usman Garuba, and Panathinaikos guard Lorenzo Brown all on the roster. Head coach Sergio Scariolo guides this united team.
Spain played two friendlies before the selection process began. They lost to Italy in extra time 84:87 (73:73) and then beat the Dominican Republic 84:74.
Expert Betting Tips
In all three of Lebanon's friendlies against Lithuania in June, the highest-scoring quarter did not exceed 48 points. Two of Spain's friendlies also failed to produce a high-scoring quarter.
As far as the result is concerned, Spain will undoubtedly win, but Sergio Scariola's team will far from indeed exceed the 39-point margin offered for the upcoming match. That's why we're taking the Spaniards to win. Lebanon is unlikely to score many goals, and Spain will simply stop trying at some point.
