Game of the day imo. fyr of Macedonia should rightly be favored, but Angola is so experienced and unlikely to be in awe of any opponent. I say close through three quarters before the euros pull away for a semi comfortable win.

I think it is going to be a derby.

How it can be a derby in any way?
Anyways, I believe Europeans will prevail here

I agree with my fellow members. The miracle team of the last eurobasket will win. Won't be easy though, it's a do or die game for both teams so there will be some pressure involved. Remember, the looser will most probably play Russia. Which means that they can say goodbye to the Olympics.

FYROM Macedonia should win this one. We are going to see probably the tallest team so far in Angola basketball history.

FYROM didn't play very well in their friendlies and Angola is the most experienced African team. They have played in many FIBA international competitions.
I think is gonna be a close match...
The winner of this will probably finish 1st in Group D.
Can't predict anything. I believe that FYROM NT won't be as good as it was last year in Eurobasket.

In FIBA Rankings Angola is in the 15th position and FYROM in 33rd.
But this does not mean something,just information.
And maybe it would be a derby.
I agree with sixama23.

Mate, "derby" is called the game between two teams from the same area, location (city, district f.e.)
I don't see how these two teams can make a derby, they are even in different hemosphere

It's ok, in Lithuania also there are such things when people calls close games like that or f.e. Zalgiris-Rytas game is called "derby", but it's not - it's rivalry, like f.e. Barca-Real is or PAO-Oly

To be honest,FYROM and Korea have the weakest teams in the tournament.
But in the Eurobasket 2011 nobody believed that FYROM would take the 4th position and they did.
Maybe the miracle became again...
Nobody knows

Macedonia will probably win, but I suspect the first half won't be easy. However, they should be able to beat Angola by around 10 points.

Wow!In this vote,FYROM has 9 votes,while Angola 8.
In other votes there are declared favorites.
That means that the match will be good by both side.
