Canada are ranked 23rd in the world and that's 26 places above their opponents in this 17th-32nd classification group match. They were in a tough opening group and lost both of their games against the top two, Lithuania and Australia losing by 23 and 16 points respectively. They did beat Senegal though and finished third in the group with four points. Those are taken forward into this new group and that puts them second behind Germany on points difference.

Jordan are yet to win a game in this 2019 FIBA World Basketball Cup tournament. They nearly caused a surprise in their opening fixture only losing by four points to the Dominican Republic. Jordan trailed by 11 points at the break in that game but won both the final two quarters eventually only losing by four points. They weren't so successful in their two remaining group games losing to France and Germany by 39 and 34 points respectively. Their best World Cup performance was a 23rd place finish in 2010, that's their only previous appearance in the finals. Canada can get the win here and the tip is to back them on a -19.5 handicap.
