Spain

Spain also made it to the Olympics through the qualification stage. The team, led by Sergio Scariolo, went on to win four consecutive games. Spain beat Lebanon (104-59) and Angola (89-81) in the first stage, and Finland (81-74) and the Bahamas (86-78) in the second. Spain has only played one friendly so far, beating Argentina, which is going through a rough patch, 76-72.

Puerto Rico

The Puerto Ricans, like Spain, earned their spot in the tournament right at home. Nelson Colon's team also beat the national teams of Bahrain (99-56), Italy (80-69), Mexico (98-78), and even Lithuania (79-68). Maybe the Lithuanians just got unlucky against Puerto Rico. It's worth noting that they haven't had much success in friendly matches. They lost to Greece (65-67) without Giannis and Calathes and also encountered some tough losses against Australia (75-90) and Canada (93-103).

Expert Betting Tips

Puerto Rico is a limited team in terms of potential, so reaching the Olympics is already a great success. Friendly matches show that they are inferior to almost all opponents in the upcoming tournament, and the game with Spain will surely confirm that. We're betting on the Spaniards but don't think they'll perform well. Under Sergio Scariolo, a rather old squad plays slowly.
