Spain will look to regain complete control of their EuroBasket fate when they clash with minnows Cyprus on Sunday afternoon. The defending champions, who are led by NBA’s Santi Aldama, have a much-changed squad from the one that won the trophy in 2022. This move backfired in Matchday 1 when they suffered a surprising 14-point defeat against Georgia. Sergio Scariolo will look for an immediate response against Bosnia & Herzegovina on Saturday before facing Cyprus.
Cyprus, as expected, is struggling to cope with the high competition at this event. They opened their campaign with a disappointing 91-64 loss against Bosnia & Herzegovina and now have an uphill battle to bounce back against Greece. However, their struggles are unsurprising, considering they are the last team in the FIFA EuroBasket Power Rankings. A win could move them out of this unwanted spot.

Our Spain vs Cyprus Prediction
Both teams are evidently not doing well on the basketball court. Spain has bagged just a single win in their last seven matches, which is an unexpected record for defending champions. Spain has also not won in their previous four games at home. However, Cyprus has been so poor that even struggling Spain should get a blowout win against them. The underdogs have scored an average of 63.7 PPG in their last seven matches while giving up 99.1 points per contest. It’s difficult to see them getting anything in their first-ever clash with Spain.
Our prediction for Spain vs Cyprus: Spain to cover -38.5 spread.
