Finch fully prepared

While a Luol Deng master class inspired Great Britain to a 91-82 victory in Hungary, Macedonia recorded a 71-58 win in Ukraine and followed that up with a 78-44 hammering of the Hungarians in Skopje three days later.

"We know they are very good, experienced and full of players that can shoot the ball from three-point territory," said Finch.

"They are fast and physical as well, and they're a very complete team without many weaknesses."

The Macedonians are led by Pero Antic who is averaging 20 points and five rebounds per game while Todor Gecevski is adding 16.5.

Damjan Stojanovski is leading their rebounding with 5.5 boards per game, while naturalised American Marquese Green leads the team with 6.5 assists and 3.5 steals per game.

"We scout all our opponents live as well as on DVD . We feel we have a very good handle on them and what they are trying to do," added Finch.

"The challenge, as ever, is stopping them. We must take away the strengths of their key players both inside and out.

"Against Hungary we didn't start the game or the third quarter very well and we didn't take the best shots.

"We need to improve on all aspects of our game and keep growing as a team to be successful on Sunday as well as in the group.

"We are fully fit and we do not expect any significant changes to our core line-up. We will however need a bit more bench production from a few more guys than we had in Hungary."
