    Game of the Day: SWE vs ESP

    Can Klara Lundquist produce something special again for Sweden?

    With two double-digit wins already banked, Spain are red-hot favorites to advance as Group D winners in Hamburg. They've looked strong at both ends of the court and have a super mix of experience and youth. A new generation is picking up the baton nicely. But Sweden have also caught the eye after beating Great Britain and in Klara Lundquist, they have a baller even the tough Spanish defense might find tricky to slow down. Plus, Sweden can call on the vast know-how of Frida Eldebrink who has been hugely influential, so an upset really can't be ruled out.

    Did you know?

    • Sweden have not recorded multiple wins in the Group Phase since 1987.

    • Klara Lundquist has had a double-double in both of her games and since the start of the 2005 edition, only two players have managed double-doubles in the first three games (Anete Steinberga of Latvia in 2017 and Jonquel Jones of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2021).

    • Belgium’s victory by a 43-point margin in 2023 (84-41) remains Czechia’s heaviest ever defeat in the competition.

    • Germany lost their most recent game but haven’t lost back-to-back fixtures in a tournament since 2011.

    • Montenegro have lost their last four games in the competition and if they lose against Portugal, it will match their longest losing sequence in the competition.
