Team News

Montenegro arrive with setbacks. NBA All-Star Nikola Vučević remains the centerpiece, but several key players are missing, including Bojan Dubljević, Nikola Ivanović, Nemanja Radović, Petar Popović, and Dino Radončić. Guard Vladimir Mihailović also sat out the opener after a freak foot injury stepping on a sea urchin.

Finland, by contrast, bring a full squad led by NBA star Lauri Markkanen, who is in electrifying form. With strong guard play and a balanced roster, the “Susijengi” (Wolf Pack) are riding high on momentum.

Key Matchup

The duel between Vučević and Markkanen is the headline attraction. Montenegro will lean on Vučević’s experience and interior presence, but Finland’s quicker tempo and Markkanen’s all-around scoring ability give them a clear advantage.

Prediction

Montenegro’s absences limit their options, forcing them to rely heavily on Vučević. Finland, with home-court support and Markkanen in peak form, look well-positioned to control the game on both ends of the court.
