Timbuktu/Giza
Both teams lost a tough one last week. Timbuktu struggled against a small team, how will they fare against Mo Amin?

Lagos/Baghdad
Should be a very close game. Look for Baghdad to spend most of their energy on Farhad leaving some other players open. If Farhad is hitting his shots, no one will stop him. Will Lagos offense get the best of Baghdad defense?

Kazan/Dhaka
Jon vs Abdul will be a nice little scoring battle. If Kazan plays Shawn/Myles in the post, it'll be a long day for undersized Dhaka. I'm hoping for another 40+ performance from Abdul!

Alexandria/Palermo
A bunch of guards vs a bunch of bigs. If Alexandria (guards) hits their shots and gets some rebounds, they should be able to take home the win. If Palermo (bigs) hit those 3s that they shoot and grab rebounds, they will win.

Sarajevo/Bukhara
Another interesting game. If Sarajevo can have a true point guard running their offense they can win. Otherwise, the Afay/Moose/Rajab trio will do damage!

Jerusalem/Islamabad
Family feud. The old dudes vs the young bucks. I think last season the young bucks took the win.
