Finland vs. Serbia: A Test of Depth as EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers Wind Down

With qualification already secured for both teams, Finland and Serbia enter Friday’s FIBA EuroBasket 2025 qualifier with less at stake than some of their group rivals—but don’t expect either side to take their foot off the gas.

Serbia, a perfect 4-0 in Group G, has lived up to expectations with dominant performances throughout the qualifying campaign. Their last outing—a resounding 98-51 victory over Denmark—highlighted their depth and defensive intensity. With Aleksa Avramovic, Marko Guduric, Nikola Milutinov, Filip Petrusev and Aleksej Pokusevski all making the preliminary rosters, it seems like Svetislav Pešić is really keen to sweep through the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 qualifiers. 

For Finland, the co-hosts of this summer’s EuroBasket, the qualifiers have been more about preparation than survival. Sitting at 1-3, their results won’t impact their tournament berth, but the matchup against Serbia presents an opportunity to sharpen their squad against one of Europe’s strongest teams. Mikael Jantunen, Alex Madsen and Sasu Salin are all looking to feature for coach Lassi Tuovi.

Expect a competitive game in Espoo as Finland seeks to give their home crowd something to cheer about while Serbia aims to maintain their perfect record. While neither team faces elimination, this contest serves as a valuable dress rehearsal for the FIBA EuroBasket 2025—one where both coaches will be evaluating their rotations and tactical adjustments for the summer ahead.
