CHINA VS PUERTO RICO PREDICTION

The stakes are extremely high here as the China and Puerto Rico players face arguably the biggest match of their respective careers when taking into account the stakes involved. From a numbers point of view, China are the better team from an attacking standpoint, whilst Puerto Rico are significantly strong defensively, conceding exactly 50 points less than China across two group games so far.

Across a full game of Basketball, so often it’s the all-round defence that decides the outcome of a contest, even though individual offensive players can always shift momentum. But the superior defensive nature of Puerto is hard to ignore and backing them to beat China is worth serious consideration.
