Philippines vs Angola Prediction & Betting Tips - Basketball World Cup
by Joseph King | in Basketball World Cup Predictions
The second game in the 2023 FIBA World Cup group stage sees third-place Philippines taking on fourth-place Angola in Group A. Host nation the Philippines almost pulled out the upset over the Dominican Republic in their opener, ultimately falling to an 87-81 defeat. They’re now facing a must-win spot against Angola if they want to keep their hopes of a top two group finish alive. Led by Utah Jazz star Jordan Clarkson, the Philippines were competitive throughout the game, going into halftime with the scores level at 42. They trailed by only two points heading into the final quarter but would see their leading scorer foul out with three minutes remaining. The absence of Clarkson, who scored a game high 28 points, and his instant offense meant that Gilas were unable to contend down the stretch. The Philippines scored just five total points in the final four minutes of play.
Angola also gave a good account of themselves in their opener against 10th-ranked Italy. Although they would fall to an 81-67 defeat, Angola were able to keep the game competitive until halfway through the fourth quarter. The 41st-ranked nation according to FIBA will attempt to carry over that positive momentum into a game where they once again find themselves as the underdogs. The key to their success could lie in their defense, which they showed against Italy is capable of causing teams problems. However, they’ll have to be much more dangerous on the offensive side of the ball. This is especially true when playing a team like the Philippines, who have players capable of scoring in streaks. The loss to Italy means that Angola have now lost their last two in a row and four of their last five overall. Their last win was a 72-69 victory over 19th-ranked Nigeria in mid July.

Our Philippines vs Angola Prediction
Angola will attempt to frustrate the Philippines with their defense but they could be in for a long day here. The Philippines have legitimate star power on the offensive side of the ball with Jordan Clarkson who should have his way with this Angola team. If not for Italy shooting 13% from three, Angola could’ve lost their first game by a much larger margin than 14 points. We expect this dangerous Philippines to ultimately secure the victory and a huge two points as they move towards qualification. Our Philippines vs Angola prediction is for the Philippines to win and cover the -7.5 spread.
