Sweden vs Montenegro: a swing game with elimination vibes

Sweden. Mikko Riipinen’s group has finally found a gear. The backcourt of Ludvig Håkanson (28 vs Finland) and Miami Heat member Pelle Larsson (23 vs GB) gives Sweden north-south creation they’ve lacked in past cycles, and Simon Birgander’s size stabilizes the glass. Expect heavy pistol action to free Håkanson for pull-ups and Larsson for strong-side drives, plus deep corner spacing to punish Montenegro’s help on rolls.

Montenegro. The offense still runs through Nikola Vučević—post touches, short-rolls, and pick-and-pops—but the supporting cast hasn’t punished rotations. With Igor Drobnjak among the tournament’s assist leaders, the ball has moved, yet the finishing hasn’t. Defensively, watch whether they switch less and keep size at the rim after conceding rhythm 3s and second-chance points through three games.

Fault lines to watch
• Håkanson/Larsson vs Montenegro’s point-of-attack: if Sweden’s guards win the paint, kick-outs will follow.
• Birgander on the boards against Vučević: second-chance math could tilt this low-margin matchup.
• Early foul trouble: Sweden’s depth at the 5 is thin; Montenegro can probe that with post seals.

Stakes
Sweden to 2–2 would tighten their grip on a knockout berth; Montenegro need this to avoid 0–4 and the brink.
