Lebanon vs Canada Prediction & Betting Tips - Basketball World Cup
by Joseph King | in Basketball World Cup Predictions
The second game of the FIBA World Cup group stage sees bottom-placed Lebanon facing off against second-place Canada. Lebanon suffered a heavy 39 point defeat against Latvia in their opening game and won’t find things much easier with Canada and France still on the docket. At 43rd in the official FIBA rankings, Lebanon are considered to be one of the weakest teams in this competition. Lebanon received good offensive contributions from its star trio in Sergio El Darwich (19 points), Wael Arakji (14 points) and Omari Spellman (18 points). However, outside of those three the next highest scoring player managed only seven points. Lebanon were near helpless on the defensive side as the Latvians drained 18 three-pointers on 51% shooting from beyond the arc. The loss means that the Cedars have now lost their last two consecutive games and three of their last four overall.
Canada came up with a statement win as they knocked off fifth-ranked France by a score of 95-65 points. They were led by scintillating OKC Thunder combo guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 27 point, 13 rebound and six assist performance. The victory showed why many are tipping this Canadian team to earn their first ever medal at this competition with a top three finish. Canada are technically second in the group at the moment as their 30 point victory was slightly less than Latvia’s 39 point win. However, Canada are expected to pick up the win in this game combined while France are also favorites over Latvia in the other group game. This means that Team Canada are overwhelming favorites to finish top of the group standings. Overall, Canada have now won four of their last five including the FIBA friendly fixtures. These include wins over Spain, Germany and now France, three of the top 12-ranked teams in the world.

Our Lebanon vs Canada Prediction
Canada has some serious talent on their squad, both on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. The star of the show is undoubtedly Gilgeous-Alexander, who picked up right where he left off following a stellar NBA season which saw him average a stunning 32.4 points per game. offensive and defensive. With a defense as good as France’s doing little to slow down the 25-year-old, Lebanon will not have much of a shot at performing much better. We expect Canada to steamroll their opponents here in a game that will likely get ugly fast. Our Lebanon vs Canada prediction is for Canada to score over 107.5 points.
