Georgia Team News
As expected, Georgia showed two different faces in the first two rounds of the World Cup. After a convincing win over Cape Verde, they were demolished by Slovenia on Monday (88:67).
By coming to Mundobasket, Georgia fulfilled all its goals. They are clearly the second best team in this group and they confirmed that against the African selection in the first round. Defeat against Slovenia almost certainly means that they will not reach the quarter-finals, but two matches in the next phase with teams like Germany and probably Australia are an additional reward. Toko Shengelia, Sandro Mamukelasvhili, Thad McFadden and Goga Bitadze have the most responsibility, while veteran Giorgi Shermadini is there to help.
Given that all results are carried over to the next stage, Georgia will be motivated to register a triumph here. In this way, they would maintain at least theoretical chances to qualify for the quarter-finals with two wins in the second phase.
Venezuela Team News
Venezuela has lost both of its games at the World Cup so far. First they were outplayed by Slovenia (100:85), and then they were defeated by the Cape Verde 81:75, even though they had a double-digit advantage at halftime.
Four years ago, Venezuela was one of the most pleasant surprises at Mundobasket. They advanced from the group that also included Poland, China and Ivory Coast. However, there is no special talent in this roster. Almost all players play in the domestic league, which says a lot. Also, Venezuela is the oldest team at the World Cup, so that could also be the reason for the big drop in the second half.
Theoretically, Venezuela can still qualify for the next stage. They would do that if they beat Georgia by at least 15 points. It’s not realistic, but no one can stop them from dreaming. If they succeed, it would be one of the biggest surprises in the history of Mundobasket.

Georgia vs Venezuela Prediction
Venezuela likes to play at a faster pace with a lot of three-point shots and they will have to do that here as well because they cannot threaten Georgia in the paint. The opponent will not allow them too many easy baskets, and knowing what Georgia needs here, they will look to extend all possessions. In such circumstances, we do not believe that they will score more than the point limit combined.
