Spain vs Greece Preview and Prediction for Sept. 4 | 2025 EuroBasket

It's the final day of the preliminary round of the 2025 EuroBasket, with eight spots for the Round of 16 still available. There are six games on the schedule for Thursday, including the powerhouse matchup between Spain and Greece in Group C.

Spain's defense of its EuroBasket championship took a hit after losing to Italy on Tuesday. They could technically fall out of a top-four finish in Group C, but it's highly unlikely even if they lose to Greece. Santi Aldama has been the beacon of hope for the defending champs.

Meanwhile, Greece also suffered a shocking defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday. They were without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was rested due to a minor injury. The good news for Greece is that Antetokounmpo is expected to play against Spain.

Spain vs. Greece Preview

The defending EuroBasket champions enter Thursday's game with a 2-2 record. Spain made it look easy against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Cyprus, but its tournament-opening loss to Georgia put a dent in their campaign. The Spaniards are coming off a 67-63 loss to Italy.

Meanwhile, Greece opened the EuroBasket with three straight wins over Italy, Cyprus and Georgia before dropping a surprising defeat to Jusuf Nurkic and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
