Puerto Rico vs Serbia Prediction: The Serbs have to do their job

Prediction for the Puerto Rico vs Serbia match which will take place on July 31st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Islanders got 90 points from South Sudan in the first round. In return, they scored just 79. They led 54:48 at the half but were outrebounded 25:42 and 23:36 in the second half.

It is hard to say what caused Puerto Rico's collapse after the big break. Maybe it was Alvarado's injury, or they didn't have the energy to compete with the African team.

Anyone who watched the France-Japan game could see that it wasn't the French who forced extra time but the inexperienced Japanese who organized it. France would have shed tears of despair by now. The Japanese told everyone that it's dangerous to overthink yourself and too little of your opponent. 

If they have, here's the story: Serbia is 26 points behind the USA. The Serbians need to focus on the upcoming games to close this gap. If they don't, they risk facing Germany or Canada in the final, as they recently did, but in the quarter-final. So Puerto Rico and South Sudan must not only be beaten, they must be beaten.

Serbia could get third place without even winning their group. They don't need to lose to Puerto Rico by 13 points in the second half like they did in Manila last August. Canada should also lose to Spain, but whether that happens or not, the Serbs don't know—they play Puerto Rico first. They have to do their job.
