Egypt vs Mexico Prediction & Betting Tips - Basketball World Cup
by Joseph King | in Basketball World Cup Predictions
The FIBA World Cup enters the final group stage game with third-place Egypt taking on fourth-place Mexico in Group D. Qualification for the second round is likely out of reach for these two nations after suffering heavy losses in their first two games. However, there is still something to play for as the third and fourth-place teams move on to classification rounds. Egypt has a legitimate chance to secure 2024 Olympics qualification with a strong performance in this tournament. FIBA Africa provides one qualification spot to the best-performing team at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. A win here would secure them third-place in the group and an easier draw. The Egyptians are coming off a 26-point loss to Lithuania in the first game and a 15 point loss to Montenegro on Sunday. The Pharaohs have now lost their last five consecutive games with their last win coming back in February against Tunisia.
Mexico are in a bit of a different scenario as they won’t be within a shout of securing Olympic qualification. This could pose a motivation problem for the team, especially after suffering two 20-point defeats to kick things off. Mexico fell 91-71 to Montenegro in their opener and followed that up with a heavy 30 point defeat to Lithuania. They only managed to score 66 points against the Lithuanians, highlighting the offensive limitations of the team. Both games saw only four players hit double-digit points, with the highest scorers netting 16 against Montenegro and only 13 against Lithuania. They do, however, come into this game as the bookmakers’ favorites to put an end to their losing streak and get their first win of the competition on the board.

Our Egypt vs Mexico Prediction
Mexico are the more talented squad here with players like Gabriel Giron and Francisco Cruz. However, the motivation of the two teams could wind up playing a significant factor. Egypt will essentially be playing for a spot in the 2024 Olympics at this point. Mexico, on the other hand, won’t surpass the USA or Canada for the two North American FIBA allocated Olympic spots. With that in mind, we like this Egypt team to at least keep this game competitive. Our Egypt vs Mexico prediction is Egypt on the +7.5 point spread.
