Three teams, Greece, Germany and the Czech Republic, have already qualified for the FIBA World Cup 2019 and unbeaten Lithuania can follow them with one more win.

Meanwhile, Croatia will try to stay alive in the race and Spain needs to bounce back after losing to Ukraine.

Hungary – Italy (18:00 GMT+02)

Playing without their injured leader, Adam Hanga, Hungary (4-3) remains third in Group J, just one win behind Italy (5-2). However, the guests have boosted their roster with the presence of Gigi Datome and Nicolo Melli for the September games and on paper, they are the better team.

If they can confirm this on the court, they will make a huge step towards qualification.
