South Sudan will shoot for history as they look to clinch a quarterfinal berth against traditional basketball giant Serbia in the men’s 5x5 basketball competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics. South Sudan, the lone African representative in the conclave of basketball powerhouses in Paris, has endeared so many sports fans around the world because of the path they take in to reach the Paris Games. Now on the cusp of entering the final eight of men’s basketball competition, South Sudan must deliver its best game in the hope of beating a formidable Serbian side led by three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. After a receiving 110-84 thrashing from the United States, Serbia showcased their might in the next game as they decimated Puerto Rico by 41 points, 107-66. Jokic flirted with a triple-double, tallying 14 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists. Filip Petrusev recorded 15 points and 9 rebounds, while Vasilije Micic added 13 points and 7 assists for Serbia, who needs a win or lose by a small margin to advance to the quarterfinals.

Our South Sudan vs Serbia Prediction
Serbia is not going to let South Sudan beat them in this all-important match, so expect Jokic, Petrusev, and other key contributors on the team to play heavy minutes against a dangerous South Sudan squad. Serbia has already routed South Sudan 115-83 in an exhibition match two weeks ago. I don’t see any reason why they can’t repeat against the African nation. Our betting prediction for South Sudan vs. Serbia: Serbia will cover -13.5-point spread, -120, at BetMGM.
