Match Preview 


China have no more room for errors after failing to beat Japan in front of the home crowd on Friday. Anything but a win here would get them eliminated. Can Taiwan pull an upset?

China Facing a Must-Win Game 


China were surely hoping for more than just two victories from their opening four matches in the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian qualifiers, currently sitting in 3rd place in Group B and yet to claim a spot in the next phase. 

They were tagged as massive favorites in the opening clash against South Korea but shockingly lost at home 80-76 due to a poor first half (trailing by 13 points), then were also beaten by the same opponent 90-76 in the reverse tie. 

Their first victory was recorded in the third round, beating Japan 87-80 in Okinawa after once again enduring a poor first half (33-47) before pulling off a comeback, then making it two wins in a row by beating Taiwan 100-93. 

When everyone expected China to secure a spot in the next phase, they were crushed by Japan 92-73 in front of the home crowd, shooting just 38% from the field. 

Taiwan Aiming for Another Upset 


Taiwan are entering this deciding FIBA World Cup 2027 qualifying round with a 2-3 record, where a potential victory would surely seal a spot in the next phase, but they can also advance if South Korea lose to Japan. 

They started the qualifiers with back-to-back defeats against Japan, 90-64 and 80-73, then earned their first victory in the third round against South Korea 77-65 at home, followed by a 100-93 loss to China. 

In their most recent appearance, Taiwan were 16 points behind entering the final quarter against South Korea, pulled off a miraculous comeback and won 82-80 in overtime. Brandon Gilbeck carried them to victory with 26 points and 18 rebounds.

Verdict

China have won their last 13 head-to-head meetings against Taiwan, and I think there is a high chance they let their frustrations out on Monday and cover the handicap.
