Finland - Lithuania

European Championship, eighth finals! Saturday Lithuania, a sad day is predicted (although the guys are trying, fighting with all their might.. but.. the team has been weakened by injuries, the three-point shooting percentage is unsatisfactory, we struggle in basic situations, there is a lack of creativity in attack). Hosts Latvia are remaining in third place in their group, rubbing their hands) because they got us in the eighth finals. When our tactics) were left in control at the competition, the brothers) only add it back in.

Latvia is showing great form, while Lithuania is, to put it gently, in a pitiful form and even Jokubaitis does not help when playing without making 3-point shots. I don't see any major intrigue in this match-up, as Latvia will be playing at home and should have tremendous support from the fans. This opponent is on a different level than Finland, so I believe Latvia's victory will be secure, therefore this handicap seems completely safe.

The coefficient jumped between 2.4 and 3. Before the period it was 2.45 and now I see 3.2. It seems like something has been revealed, that there will not be any playing or something, but there is no information. Normantas will probably play, Sedekerskis too. The Latvians also have injuries. Grazulis is out, Zagaras is injured, Lomazas and some others have injuries too. I would say that it is more of a 50/50 game rather than one team being a clear favorite. If everyone who can run will run, then the chances are similar to Lithuania's win. The coefficient is very good for these kind of games, as Latvian basketball is definitely not better than Lithuania's and the level is far from it.

And I still believe that it is safe to place a bet on Valančiūnas' points, as it is uncertain what the condition will be for both Normantas and Sedonas. However, in this situation, Valančiūnas will be a preferred choice for over betters, even though he may seem like a big player, he is not as big as they make him appear. In many cases, when Lithuania has no one else to pass the ball to, Jonus will have to take responsibility. Although it will be difficult to beat Latvia with such basketball, in my opinion, it will be necessary to reject free shots from players like Radzo and Sirvydžius. However, I believe that Jonus will be able to take on the task and dominate in the penalty area, where Latvians have been struggling.

So, all in all, in my opinion, Radzo is worth betting on over 6.5 points, and I will put my trust in Jonus. Good luck to all players, let's hope that Lithuania will find a way to defeat the Latvians.

Lithuania no longer has any flow, the game will be a struggle, there are no normal PGs, so we will have to bring Latvians into a nerve war, not confusion. The players in Riga are not the softest, so we will have a lot of physical contact with tall and slow players, the price of mistakes is too high.

There are no other options than to rely on Valanciunas. It's either death or living with Valanciunas, I can't imagine any other option than relying on Jonas Valanciunas. In my opinion, he will score over 20. The only option where this could not happen is if Lithuania's 3-pointers fall and there would no longer be a need for Jonas' services or Kurcius' adventures, but the fact is that Jonas is needed here and now. As an experienced player, he should take responsibility.

Hello. Eurobasket quarterfinals. Lithuania against Latvia. We are going to support Lithuania. Similar Normantas and Sedekerskis will play, even though they may have injuries, but they will still play. Lithuania's defense is much stronger than Latvia's, and if they manage to defend against their 3-pointers, we can definitely beat Latvia. Porzingis is not known for shooting well in championships (except for the match against the Czechs), and when he is allowed to do too much, we see a struggling Latvia team. On top of all that, everyone in the media is saying that Latvia is better. It would be a disaster for them to lose here... I think this puts a lot of pressure on them and gives us motivation. This game should be very close and getting such a coefficient is not fair. By the way, Lithuania's 3-pointers have been tragic so far, is Tampere to blame? 😁 We'll see. Good luck.

I do not believe in his good use. Probably the most reliable option if you expect to collect fines. This will automatically shorten his time on the court, as it will be difficult for him to play against stronger or more skilled opponents. They may also add more breaks for important matches.
