With just four days remaining until the start of the FIBA World Cup, participating teams are finalizing their preparations. On August 21, Brazil and Serbia will face off in their final tune-up game before the tournament gets underway.
Brazil's tune-up schedule has gone to plan, with the team recording victories over South Sudan, Australia, and Venezuela before suffering a loss at the hands of the Italian national team. Serbia will provide a stern test for Brazil, as they rank among the better teams in the tournament.
During their own preparations, Serbia defeated Greece, Puerto Rico, and China. However, Serbia also fell to defeat against Italy. It will be interesting to see which team comes out of Monday's contest with another win to their name, and which will be heading into their opening game of the World Cup on the back of a defeat.
