Lebanon Team News
Lebanon suffered another convincing defeat in the second round. This time Canada won with plus 55 and proved that the rival has nothing to look for in the Mundobasket.
With that failure, the Asian team ended its participation in the tournament, where it realistically did not have a great chance of at least one surprise. If nothing else, former NBA player Omari Spellman showed himself on this stage as well and ended the match against Canada with 16 points. Lebanon had only 18 rebounds in that duel, twice as many as the opponent, and even with 22 lost balls, it was not possible to at least have a decent defeat.
This kind of epilogue was anticipated even before the start of the tournament. What is bad news for the Asian team is that in the next round, they will play against France, who disappointed and were expected to take their anger out on weak Lebanon.
France Team News
France lost to Latvia by 88:86 and ended the competition in the group stage of the World Cup beyond all expectations.
The best defensive team from the last year’s Eurobasket did not prove such a status. Received 95 points from Canada, which is not so good at shooting, and then 88 points from Latvia, proof that something did not work in the team that is thinking about the Olympic Games in Paris next year. France also had a double-digit advantage, but it was not enough to win against a weakened rival. When that’s the case, they didn’t even deserve to go to the next stage.
All those defensive difficulties should not be visible against a significantly weaker competitor. The “Tricolors” have to register a victory against Lebanon, which is not in question. Still, that will be little consolation for all that has happened before.

Lebanon vs France H2H

Absences and Injuries
Lebanon has no problems with injuries and absences. When it comes to France, Victor Wembanyama has decided to skip international duty, and Frank Ntilikina is missing due to injury.
Lebanon vs France Prediction
France experienced a great disappointment and it is highly likely that Lebanon will “suffer” because of it. And if it were not so, this would be easier training for the “tricolors”. The Asian team lost first by 39, then by 55 points. As he is facing a duel with a rival of similar quality, it would be expected that the situation would be the same.
Because of all this, it would be expected that France will win by a margin higher than the handicap offered.
