Canada vs Slovenia Preview & Picks

Canada are tipped to cover as they seal a semi-final berth.

Germany showed the blueprint to stopping Luka Doncic and beating Slovenia, and Canada have the talent to follow it.

  • Canada are 4-1 at the FIBA World Cup so far
  • Slovenia lost by 29 points in their last World Cup game
  • The Under has hit in 3 of Canada’s 5 games so far

Head To Head

  • Slovenia lead the series 1-0 since 2008
  • Slovenia won 86-70 when the teams last met in July 2008

Canada Form

Canada enter the knockout stage having won four of their five games at the FIBA World Cup so far.

The Canadians got off to a fantastic start as they dominated the second favorites to win it all, France, 85-65.

They then backed that up with a 128-73 blowout of Lebanon before cruising to a 101-75 victory over Latvia.

Canada’s perfect start was brought to a shuddering halt by a 69-65 defeat to Brazil in their opening game of the second round.

They hit back quickly though, earning an 88-85 victory over Spain that secured them a place in the quarter-finals.

Slovenia Form

Slovenia come into this quarter-final matchup having suffered their first defeat of the FIBA World Cup last time out.

The Slovenians opened the competition with a 100-85 victory over Venezuela, and then powered past Georgia for an 88-67 victory.

They completed a perfect first round group stage campaign when they downed Cape Verde 92-77.

Slovenia’s perfect start continued their first game of the second round group stage, as they beat Australia 91-80.

They were unable to make it five-in-a-row though, as they suffered a one-sided 100-71 defeat to Germany last time out.

Verdict

Slovenia are a one-man band – stop Luka Doncic and you can get the better of them.

Germany showed how to do it last time out, and Canada’s talented roster is more than capable of matching that here.
