Basketball

Although the Italians have a strong force, both the coach and the national team players seem exhausted. The Spanish can never be counted out, and the loss against Georgia is likely to benefit the Spaniards. Both teams have something to boast about, but also have clear weaknesses, but the Italians seem like the more vulnerable team, so the Spanish are my favorites in this match.

Hello.
Eurobasket. France - Poland. We're moving with the host team's plus handicap.
So far, the French team hasn't convinced me completely. They easily took care of the Belgians, but struggled against Slovenia, who don't seem to be in good form, and lost convincingly to the Jews. In general, when Francisco becomes the leader of the team, the national team looks a little awkward. The French are athletic and get a lot of blocks and rebounds, but their shooting isn't at a high level. At least that's how it looked against Israel. The Jews only have 2.5 serious players (Avdija, Sorkin, and Madar) and they managed to handle them. The Poles will have much more weapons.
The Poles, in turn, surprisingly won all 3 first matches (especially surprising was their win against Israel, but it was decided in the last seconds). Jordan Loydowski looks like a completely different player compared to how he looked this season in Monaco. Confidence is overflowing and it's paying off. Ponitka is as solid as always with the national team, and there are also players like Balcerowski and Sokolowski who contribute a lot. It won't be easy for the French to push back, because the hosts have good players to offer.
In general, it wouldn't surprise me if the Poles also win this match, but this handicap looks very appealing. Good luck to everyone who is watching together 😁

It is necessary for the Spaniards to win in order to prove their self-confidence, especially after the unclear outcome of the Peruvian-Georgian game which may greatly affect the final standings. Therefore, for the Spaniards, Peru must be like a refreshing breath of air that will bring confidence for future battles, where I believe the Spaniards will prove that it was too early to write them off.

Somehow the French are still sticking together like a young team. A new coach, a new leader who is still looking for their style. I am waiting for the French to overpower us, as the Poles do not have many options to stop such opponents in defense.

Live or die by the competition, because of the 4th quarter and advancing to the next stage, logically speaking, the battle strategy should dominate these contests. The Portuguese underperformed all 4 times, which says a lot considering they had to play against opponents like the Serbians and Turks. The Estonians went over twice, feasting on the remains of the Czechs and also against the Serbs who scored 100 points. The cost of the competition is too high to play in an unorganized manner, and in defense, heads will be put on the line.

Even if Jacobaitis' injury wasn't serious, he definitely wouldn't play against Sweden. Without Jacobaitis, the team's face and especially their creativity changes drastically. During the championship, we could feel the pressure when Rokas sat on the bench. The games, which the Swedes will play knowing the possible outcome, but it is likely that Montenegro will defeat the British and continue to progress. The Swedes struggled in their offense against Montenegro, Larsson is not 100% ready, and Hakanson did not play at all in the second half. Perhaps there will not be any confusion.

When Lithuania's team loses Jokubaitis, they will need to focus on defense and fighting because without Rokas, our offense looks weak. This match against Sweden might be decent because we are playing against them, but I don't think we will score as many points as other teams in the 4-6 place, like the British and Montenegrins. The Swedes attack fairly well in this championship, but I believe they will struggle against Lithuania's defense and won't score over 70 points, similar to other lower level teams where Lithuania would only let in around 100 points, which I don't see happening. I predict a score of around 85-70.

The championship is over, there is no more pressure, it's easier to play in situations like these, the desire to fight against Latvians should not be lacking, after all, we'll be playing on their territory. The Czechs are a team of three-point shooters and very explosive in offense, but their defense is poor. The Latvian game also revolves around three-pointers, but they also have Porzingis, who should perform well. I am looking forward to the 3-point shootout, hopefully the shooting percentages will be decent.

The Germans are Germans, but it must be acknowledged that they also made very high percentage shots against Lithuania. It is not desirable to evaluate other opponents, as the Finns are also superior to them. The Finnish team did not suffer from yesterday's fate, even the free players, Markanenas, played the worst game. After such poor performance, they should definitely play better, and playing at home should not be seen as a handicap, especially considering the support they received against Lithuania.

The fight for first place, and both teams do not play very well on the offensive. Long attacks and only one point for Peru show me that there is not much to expect from the points between them. Not to mention that the results between them are often unproductive.

The Turks look great in this championship, and I believe the odds are worth trying. Of course, the Serbs are the favorites in the tournament, but with Bogdanovic out of the lineup, it is a huge loss considering how important he is for the Serbian national team in FIBA tournaments. Of course, with Jokic, they will always be favorites, but in the recent games against Latvia, they didn't seem unbeatable and barely escaped defeat against Peru. The Turks have been dominating all opponents, even though they have played against weaker teams in their first 3 matches. They also beat the same Latvians by 20 points in Riga. Sengun is also playing great, which is a strong weapon for the Turkish team, and if he has a good day, they can easily challenge Jokic. I believe it will be a close game, and the Turks will have a chance to win.

This group should be decided between the 2 teams, Slovenia and France, not paying much attention to other teams because this group is really weak without these two teams. Israel, Poland, Iceland and Belgium are left in this group, but the only team that can surprise is probably Israel. Slovenia has a good coefficient and their team could be even better, especially with Doncic, you can always expect good results. Especially now with him having a break after the tough NBA season. With France, their main core is missing this year, there won't be Fournier, Gobert, or Wembanyamos, and I think this summer will be difficult for them even though they have a lot of talent. They lack a true leader, unlike Slovenia. In my opinion, in a match between Slovenia and France, Slovenia would play the key moments more confidently and they wouldn't need to overcome many lower level teams.
