Finland (1-1) v Croatia (1-1), Thursday at 14:30 CET
Stats Don't Lie: It should be first and foremost a battle on the glass, as Croatia grab a tournament-best 40.2 boards-per-game and the Finns are the second-best in this aspect, averaging 39.6 rebounds-per-night. Finland have the joint second-best defence in the tournament (tied with Lithuania) and only concede 67.4 points-per-encounter. Croatia are in sixth place on the table but the difference is really insignificant, as they give up 68.2 points-per-game on average.
Key Match-Up: Petteri Koponen taking on Bojan Bogdanovic will make for a spectacular battle of charismatic scorers but more players might join them at the perimeter looking for open looks, if the dense traffic in the paint closes down all lanes.
