Latvia - Portugal

Although Doncic can never be underestimated, the Slovenians look very poor and that only ray of hope cannot save them against strong national teams. Even the Belgians and Icelanders were not an easy walk for the Slovenians, who I think will once again succumb in this group against a powerful team.

Hello.
Eurobasket. Israel versus Slovenia. We are going with Israel against Peru.
This is a very important match here in Israel. In the case of Peru, the team should remain in first place in the group (if the French take on Iceland), but if they lose, they will most likely drop to fourth place (if the French take on Iceland and the Poles take on the Belgians). The team looks good with the amazing leader Avdija. They also have decent players around him, which should be enough for a successful run in the short championship. Yes, in the last game they were able to secure a win against the Belgians by just 3 points, but they were in control of the entire game.
The Slovenians are not very impressive. Without Luka, the team looks weak as well. Besides that, Doncic often argues with the referees and gets himself thrown out of games. In the case of Peru, Slovenia could rise to a maximum of third place, but if they lose, they will be in fourth place. Of course, they would potentially like to avoid the Greeks, but it doesn't seem like they have what it takes to strongly oppose them and only a very good day would bring a win for Slovenia here. They have lost to all the stronger teams and struggled against both the Belgians and Icelanders.
The odds are in my favor and today I am confidently going with Israel. Good luck.

Either Doncicius should step up, or other team players should step up, but it's obvious that without Doncicius, the team is very poor. It was even felt in the game against the Icelanders, where without Doncicius, the team seemed to be on equal footing with the Icelanders. The Jews seem to be more stable, they have over options in the offense, and it's precisely the offense that should dominate here.

Few would doubt Doncic's abilities, but as they say, one soldier does not win a battle. They are completely weak in defense as a team. Doncic himself also conflicts with Sekulic. There is a lot of drama among the Slovenians and when they weren't able to bring a naturalized big man, their level is evident. If not for Luka, they would have had the same fate as the Czechs. It's a completely different picture when looking at Israel. They have high-quality players like Sorkin, who is a mobile center. Avdija is the expressed leader, and Madar could also make an impact, along with experienced players like Ginat and Zoosman. They also have a naturalized player in Carrington, from whom they can expect big plays. They could have even taken on the Poles and would have had no losses at all. A true dark horse in the championship. The Slovenians will need a strong contribution from others in order to win.

Avidas constantly has problems with fines, and today there is a high chance that he will be against Luka. In such important matches, Luka is often the only heavy weight in the winning team. I believe that in such games the winning team should have the better player on the court.

The Slovenians made 3-point shots throughout the entire game, there are no advantages under the basket. You can expect 30-40 3-pointers thrown, so even a good percentage is not needed for Peru. In order to win these games, it will be necessary to also hit shots for the supporting players, so I believe that this total score can easily be achieved against Ghana.

The likable Israeli team has many options on offense, starting with NBA star Avdija, solid Madar, 3-point shooter Sorkin, excellent creator Ginat and reliable defender Carrington, who rises from the bench - it seems like a high number of points will be scored against the headless Slovenian defense. The Slovenians themselves have one style of play, with the ball in Doncic's hands and him either scoring points himself or drawing 3 defenders and passing to a teammate for a free throw. With no bricks, this total should easily reach almost 200 for both teams.

Although I rarely take such overtimes, as it is a very slippery matter, these important matches for both teams can theoretically move them up and avoid potentially stronger opponents. So, getting to the point, Luka is a "long-awaited warrior", tears for referees and other things suggest that he can score 36-37 points. Of course, it depends on how long the battle will be and how well he will shoot, but I think he can surprise today, as the Israeli defense is not something wow, which would give him problems

Italians do not play very effectively and even though their line is low, in this group Italians have barely qualified once out of four attempts. Cyprus's attack, as expected for a team of this level, looks very poor, and it is likely that the Italians will rotate their lineup before the playoffs. Based on everything, I believe that the game will be low-scoring, just like all of Italy's matches in the European Championship.

I don't see the point in risking one of our leaders for a match against Cyprus. The opponent is weakened and playing with substitutes, so it might be possible to let them play in the beginning of the match, but there is no point in keeping him on the court without a significant lead. It is enough to look around and see how many players the national team has already lost or are struggling with injuries.

In my opinion, the main players will be saved, so the substitutes will get more playing time. In this case, I think Spagnolo will stand out, who only played about 20 minutes against Greece and Georgia, scoring 5/10 points, and then did not get to play at all. Today, I think he will play a lot and should score well against Cyprus, the weakest team in the championship, who will surely give up a lot of points. The odds are 1.86 for this bet.
