Finland vs. Venezuela FIBA World Cup 2023: Date, time, where to watch, live stream details, and more

Finland and Venezuela will go head-to-head tomorrow, Sept. 2, as the Classification Round of the FIBA World Cup 2023 continues.

Finland (1-3 record) is coming off its first win of this year's FIBA World Cup against Cape Verde with a score of 100-77. The team shot relatively well at 50.0%, including 38.9% from 3-point range. In the game, Finland was able to hold off Cape Verde to a subpar shooting outing at 41.5%, including 15.8% from 3-point range.

Venezuela (0-4 record), on the other hand, has yet to win a single game in the competition after its recent 86-77 loss to Japan. The South Americans shot over 43.1%, including a subpar showing from beyond the arc at 25.6%. Japan managed to get the better of Venezuela despite only shooting 41.4%. The difference was the Japanese shooting from beyond the arc at 34.3%.

It is yet to be seen if Venezuela has enough to secure its first win in the international competition. Be that as it may, the team can take it one game at a time and compete against Finland.
