As a rule, duels between these teams are fought out. One of them wins, but only by a few points. Nothing is likely to change significantly this time either.
It’s very likely that the encounter will not be a high-scoring. The Spaniards, after all, are good at defending. Scariolo’s men will try to put out the Lithuanians’ attacking spirit. It’s possible that they can do that. At the end of September, the teams met in a head-to-head encounter. The total in that game was 154 points.
The Spaniards have scored more than 75 points in 3 of their last 5 games.
Spain won their group without any problems. Sergio Scariolo’s only defeat came against Belgium (73-83). The Spaniards were more confident in the rest of their games.
As a rule, their defence prevented their forwards from exploiting their opponent’s forwards in recent games. Only Bulgaria managed to score 87 points. The rest of their opponents were not as successful. The Turks, for example, scored only 69 points and the Montenegrins 65. The Spanish team’s success under the basket ensured that they top the Group A standings.
In the last game against Turkey, Willy Hernangomez scored 14 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.
The Spaniards have an average of 20 assists in the tournament.
Lithuania got off to a terrible start to their tournament. Jonas Valanciunas and company lost their first three matches. That’s not to say that the Lithuanians performed badly. No, they performed at their level, but their luck ran out.
Maksvytis’s men picked up their first win in Week 4 when they defeated Hungary (87-64). Then came an 87-70 defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina. These successes allowed the Lithuanians to jump into fourth place in their group.
In the last game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jonas Valanciunas scored 13 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists.
Lithuania has beaten Spain twice this year.
Jonas Valanciunas has scored less than 18 points in 3 of his last 5 games. We offer to bet on “Valanciunas Points – Under 17.5” with odds of 1.90.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Spain: Lorenzo Brown – Xabier López-Arostegui, Juancho Hernangómez – Joel Parra, Willy Hernangómez.
Lithuania: Rokas Jokubaitis – Marius Grigonis, Rokas Giedraitis – Domantas Sabonis, Jonas Valančiūnas.
