Lithuania vs Mexico 2023 FIBA World Cup Preview & Prediction

Even without their star Sabonis, Lithuania were able to see off Egypt with a strong first quarter performance in their 2023 Fiba World Cup debut vs Egypt, led by Jonas Valanciunas’ 15 points and 10 boards double double in just 17 minutes of gametime. Lithuania will want to ensure they continue their good form as they face a Mexico team desperate for a win.

The 12 Guerreros suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Nikola Vucevic’s Montenegro, tipped to battle Lithuania for the top spot in a very competitive Group D. With another team led by an NBA-level big man in Jonas Valanciunas, Mexico will have to do a better job of limiting Lithuania’s presence in the paint, and try to force the New Orleans Pelicans’ center into foul trouble.

Lithuania vs Mexico Prediction

Lithuania looked great without having to show too much in their debut vs Egypt, and they match really well into Mexico’s lineup. That’s why we’re predicting Lithuania to take their 2nd game of the tournament and keep their status as one of the dark horses for this 2023 FIBA World cup. Their talent is well-spread with FC Barcelona playmaker Jokubaitis not having to show too much in their first outing and ex former San Antonio Spur Donatas Motiejūnas ready to come off the bench for instant impact.
