Prediction for the Basketball match which will take place on July 30. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Spain

The Spaniards played Australia in the first round and lost to them by 12 points (80:92). Interestingly, they attacked the basket ring more often from the game, but scored seven fewer shots - 39 per cent realisation cannot be called good.

In addition, they lost to their opponents in rebounds (32:46) and assists (19:25). Lorenzo Brown had seven assists and just as many turnovers, and the worst part is that most of those turnovers were live and the opponent scored points after them.

Greece

The Greek team was losing to Canada 78:80 in the last minute of the game against Canada, but the end was greased - 79:86. A couple or three Greeks were clearly overexcited, otherwise things could have ended differently.

As we predicted, the team was better at assists (21:18 in assists), but lost the rebounding battle 33:37 and hit too many free throws. That's what ruined them.

Overall, the Greece-Canada game can be called an even game, and the 79 Greek points is an objective indicator. Kalates missed four of four from the line, but Yannis made 12 of 15, which is above and beyond the norm for him.

Greece and Spain haven't met in an official match in a long time - since the quarter-finals of EuroBasket 2015. The total of 161.5 (odds of 1.8) has only been played in friendly games.

Expert Betting Tips

So, the second defeat will greatly reduce the chances of Greece to get out of the group and, most likely, deprive Spain of all hopes. Basically, these guys will play a playoff match. In such a situation, any normal European coach would play from defence.
