Spain and Greece will seek to bounce back from their opening-round losses when they meet next at the Olympics. The two nations are in Group A of the Men’s Basketball tournament where Greece sit third and Spain fourth. This game marks their second Olympic meeting and below we have its preview and a prediction.
Spain began their campaign in Paris with a 92-80 loss to Australia. The defeat ended a run of seven straight wins and Sergio Scariolo’s men will be keen on bouncing back. Spain have a dominant record against Greece, having won 11 of 15 meetings.
One of those wins was at the Beijing Games in 2008. The most recent showdown between these two European nations was at the 2015 Eurobasket tournament. Spain shot 42% from the field and 34% from three against Australia. Santi Aldama put up a game-high 27 points and was one of three players to score in double figures for La Roja.
Greece, like Spain, will aim to rise from their opening day disappointment in Paris, having fallen 86-79 to Canada. It wasn’t the best return to the tournament after a 16-year hiatus. Vassilis Spanoulis’ men, who many favor for a podium finish, will be eager to give an immediate response.
Led by two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antentokounmpo, Greece shot 42% from the field against Canada and 54% from 2-point range. Antetokounmpo put up a game-high 34 points, double the points of his closest teammate.
Greece, who qualified for Paris via the qualifying tournament in Piraeus have lost their last two fixtures. They were defeated 94-72 by Serbia in their final build-up game. Before this slump, The Beloved had won 10 straight matches.

Our Spain vs Greece Prediction
Our prediction for Spain v Greece is for Spain to win. Spain have been more regular at the Olympics than Greece who are ending a 16-year absence. They also have a strong record against their fellow Europeans whom they have defeated 11 times in 15 meetings, once at the Olympics.
With Greece struggling in recent outings, the in-form Spaniards should be able to continue their dominance in this fixture. Spain had won seven successive matches leading up to the Games in Paris.
