Greece vs Finland Prediction

While Greece have a better roster on paper, Finland has proven time and time again that they can deliver upsets. However, if Lauri Markannen's squad fails to contain Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Greek Freak can single-handedly take over the game and secure a win for his team.
