Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (+18) for Hungary – 1.84.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Lithuania Points – Over 88.5 – 1.77.
At the end of August, the teams played a head-to-head encounter. The game was a part of the World Cup qualifiers. Lithuania won by 10 points. Maksvytis’ side will probably not be able to do better.
In two of the previous three games, Maksvytis’s men had scored 85 points or more. However, then their opponents were the strongest teams in Europe. Hungary cannot be included among them. Against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary conceded 95 points, while against Slovenia they conceded 103. The Lithuanians really need a win. They are unlikely to feel sorry for their opponents.
Hungary is regarded as the weakest team in Group B. Stojan Ivković’s selection of players is not of the highest calibre. Yes, there’s Adam Hanga from Real Madrid and Mikael Hopkins from the Italian championships, but there’s no one else to choose from.
Despite the staff problems, Hungary looked good in their last game against France. Ivkovic’s men put up a good fight, losing with a score of 74-78. In their other matches, Hungary lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina (85-95) and Slovenia (88-103).
In the game against France, Benedek Varadi scored 9 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds.
Hungary lost 54% of its meetings in 2022.
Before the Eurobasket, Lithuania was considered one of the main favourites for the tournament. But so far, Kazys Maksvytis’s side has been unpleasantly surprising. The Lithuanians lost their first three games. Not that they didn’t perform well, but their luck wasn’t on their side. In the first two games, Sabonis and company lost to Slovenia (85-92) and to France (73-77). In the last game, Lithuania lost in overtime to Germany (107-109).
Maksvytis’ men urgently need to remedy the situation. Another defeat would mean the Lithuanians don’t have a chance to continue their rivalry.
In the game against Germany, Jonas Valanciunas scored 34 points, 5 assists and 14 rebounds.
Lithuania won 76% of its matches in 2022.
In 3 of Lithuania’s last 4 games, more than 39.5 points have been scored in the first quarter. We offer to bet on “1st Quarter Points – Over 39.5” with odds of 1.77.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Hungary: Ádám Hanga – Dávid Vojvoda, Szilárd Benke – Rosco Allen, Ákos Keller.
Lithuania: Rokas Jokubaitis – Marius Grigonis, Rokas Giedraitis – Domantas Sabonis, Jonas Valančiūnas.
