Puerto Rico vs Mexico Prediction: The odds of Mexico winning are unfairly high

Prediction for the Puerto Rico vs Mexico match which will take place on July 7th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico kicked off its qualification campaign against Bahrain, and it was no surprise that it won 99:56. However, their second game against Italy was different. As expected, Nelson Colon's team trailed after the first half, but they turned things around in the second and ran out 80:79 winners. Thus, the Puerto Ricans avoided a meeting with Lithuania in the semi-finals, where they would face a much more modest Mexico side.

Mexico

The Mexicans don't have the same depth as Lithuania, but they have made an excellent start to their campaign. Omar Quintero's side had a good shootout with the Lithuanians, scoring more than 80 points before losing 84:96. Mexico were just as effective against Côte d'Ivoire in their group stage decider, winning 92:81. Two players recorded double-doubles. Centre Joshua Ibarra had 22 points and 11 rebounds. Former Unics Kazan and Avtodor Saratov guard Paul Stoll had 23 points and 11 assists.

Expert Betting Tips

The Puerto Rican team played great basketball against Italy, confidently outplaying a powerful opponent. However, this is not a team that can consistently play like this. Mexico has a strong team that can give Puerto Rico a run for their money, as even Lithuania had some problems against the Mexicans. The odds of Mexico winning are unfairly high, and we are backing them.
