Greece - Spain
Greece yesterday won against Lithuania and with win today they qualify for next round. If they lose and Lithuania win against Bulgaria winners  in last tour still qualifies to next stage. If Spain lose they lost all chances to qualify. So I expect that Spain will do all they can to win today to stay in game for 2nd place. And Greece... it would easier to win against Bulgaria than against very motivated Spain. So maybe difficult but Spain win here.

Pick: Spain @ 1.65

Latvia - Croatia
Latvian basketball never have been defensive.. they more rely on shooting and running basketball. In first game Latvia did not show any defensive skill except 2nd quarter when Serbia scored 11 points. In all other quarters Serbian scored 18 20 23 points... So I think that real Latvian defence average should be about 76.5-80 points. Now let's look into Croatian offensive stats in their game with Belorussia, yes I agree that there was something strange in first quarter when they scored 6 points but then they found they rythm and scored 58 points in next 3 quarters.. and during preparation games their stats were 77.3-81 and only in one game they allowed less than 70 points, so I would not say that croatia key to win games is defense.... Belorussian are very poor team with character but their national league is very poor level and that's why they will have big problems here...

Lithuania - Croatia 94-74
Lithuania - Croatia 101-77
Lithuania - Croatia 75-68
Croatia - Italy 79-78
Croatia - Slovenia 83:72
Croatia - Finland 74:80
Croatia - Hungary 78:60
Croatia - Slovenia 93:78
France - Croatia 95:70

Average total 158.7

Latvians were able to score 58 points in first 3 quarters to serbia and then they just forgot where basketball ring is located.. by scoring only 3 points in last quarter.. But i doubt that they will repeat same scoring today. So I think that both teams able to score 70 points.. And it's good chance to play on over 135.5 here.

Pick: Over 135.5
