Defending EuroBasket champions Spain will look for an all-important win in Group C when they play Bosnia and Herzegovina on Saturday evening. Spain came into this competition as the eighth-ranked team after a lot had changed since that impressive 2022 run. They started this year’s campaign on the wrong foot with an 83-69 defeat against Georgia. This result puts them in fifth position in the group, meaning they are in a must-win situation on Saturday evening.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the other hand, bagged a massive 91-64 win against Cyprus in Matchday 1 to seize control of the group. The Bosnians are 13th in the FIFA Power Rankings, and the lack of pressure to perform may work in their favor. They were the feel-good team of the qualifiers and are even more dangerous with the addition of Jusuf Nurkic of Utah Jazz. Technically, they boast the size to outmuscle any opponent at this tournament.

Our Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Spain Prediction
This will only be the second meeting between these sides, with bookies listing Spain as the warm 11-point favorites. They were uninspiring in their build-up to this tournament, losing five of their last six matches. The defending European champions probably lack a player who can pull off clutch moments and help them win close encounters. Spain now has a tricky assignment against the in-form underdogs, who are 3-1 in their last four matches. Nevertheless, they have what it takes to win on Saturday and regain their bearing in this competition.
Our prediction for Spain vs Bosnia & Herzegovina: Bosnia & Herzegovina to cover +11.5 spread.
