Impressive South Sudan cover spread
South Sudan’s ascension has been one of the biggest stories in international basketball. Under the leadership of federation president Luol Deng, South Sudan have become one of Africa’s best teams. They have repeatedly proven they are fearless even when facing established powers.
Coming off a stellar qualifying campaign, South Sudan will be full of confidence heading into this game. Puerto Rico, meanwhile, are missing a couple of key players through injury and have a history of falling short when the lights are brightest.

Underdogs hit their over
While they were held to 67 points by a competitive Australia team in their last game, South Sudan have still regularly gone over this team total in 2023. They were consistently scoring in the eighties or above during qualification.
Puerto Rico had a gruelling warm-up schedule for this tournament, facing many of the world’s best teams. Their defence was exposed during that spell, conceding 84 or more points in all six of their pre-World Cup outings.

Early nerves lead to quiet first quarter
The pressure is on for both teams here. It might be the opening game, but with Slovenia looming, each team will be well aware that a loss in this one will make it very difficult to progress to the next round.
Add the fact that neither of these teams have any World Cup experience, and it becomes clear that pressure is a major factor when making South Sudan vs Puerto Rico predictions. The first quarter could be laden with mistakes as a result.
We are expecting both teams to start quite slowly as they play themselves into the game. Don’t be surprised if there are a few bad misses and a low-scoring opening period.
