Great Britain and Sweden will face off on Saturday afternoon in Matchday 3 of the EuroBasket Group B. Great Britain will view this game as the perfect opportunity to win and improve their standings. They are fifth in the standings with a single point after suffering a 24-point drubbing against Lithuania in Matchday 1. The Brits can get their campaign back on track when they play the hosts Finland on Friday evening. However, the odds are against them in that game.
Sweden, meanwhile, started this tournament with an impressive 90-93 loss against Finland. However, they failed to build on that performance when they were swept aside 105-83 by the Germans on Friday. Melwin Pantzar was their most impressive player against the Germans, scoring 18 points and two assists. Barra Njie also chipped in with 12 points and 7 assists. They'll certainly want to do better against Great Britain.

Our Sweden vs Great Britain Prediction
Bookmakers predict a close battle, with Sweden being the slight betting favorite. The Swedes have shown some attacking potential at this tournament, scoring an average of 86.5 PPG. However, their defense has been the main problem after giving up a total of 198 points in two matches only. To their defense, they have played against the tournament's top teams, and we expect them to get a win against the British. Note that this is the first time Sweden and Britain have met in a competitive game. We expect a close match, with Sweden covering the -4.5 spread.
Our prediction for Great Britain vs Sweden: Over 163.5 points.
