Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Over 157 – 1.73.
France had big problems against Turkey. It’s possible that the same will be the case against Italy. Pozzecco’s side was too good against Serbia. If the Italians show a well-coordinated team game again, they will definitely create problems for Gobert and the company.
Italy is a fast team. Pozzecco’s men have not played defensive basketball in any of their games in this tournament. In 4 of their last 5 games, they have scored at least 157 points. We expect the trend to continue.
France struggled to qualify for the Eurobasket quarter-finals. In the group stage, Vincent Collet’s men lost two games. First, Rudi Gobert and company lost to Germany (63:76), then to Slovenia (82:88). However, that didn’t prevent the French from advancing from the group.
However, Collet’s men could have left the tournament in the last eight. The Turkish national team put up stiff resistance. However, a successful performance by Rudi Gobert ensured their team’s success. The regular time ended in a draw (77-77), with France defeating its opponent in overtime (87-86).
In the latest game against Turkey, Rudy Gobert scored 20 points, 17 rebounds and 2 assists.
France averages 37 rebounds in this tournament.
Before the Eurobasket, the Italians lost Danilo Gallinari. The Boston Celtics’ representative was injured, so he cannot help his team. Of course, the absence of its leader has an impact on Italy’s play. However, even without him, Pozzecco’s men secured their place in the group.
Italy was drawn against Serbia in the last eight. The Balkans were without a single defeat on the group stage. It seemed that Nikola Jokic and his team would have no problems against a weakened opponent. However, Polonara, Spissou, Fontecchio and Melli played outstandingly for the Italians. These performers combined for 78 points. Thus, they levelled all the efforts of Nikola Jokic. Italy won with a score of 94-86.
In the latest game against Serbia, Marco Spissu scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.
Italy averages 37 rebounds in this tournament.
The Italians have scored more than 77 points in 4 of their last 5 games. We offer to bet on “Italy Points – Over 76.5” with odds of 1.82.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
France: Andrew Albicy – Evan Fournier, Terry Tarpey – Guerschon Yabusele, Rudy Gobert.
Italy: Marco Spissu – Simone Fontecchio, Stefano Tonut – Nicolò Melli, Achille Polonara.
