Spain - Russia Russia played badly in group stage but I hold them correct favorite for this match. Valdemoro leader of Spanish is sure a great player but her personality is well know for Russian NT coach Igor Grudin bcz she is playing in russian superleague. This is very important match for Russia because their goal for this tournament is a medal and any other place would be very criticed by press and basketball federation. They have deeper bench, more leaders and more experience. And this is what counts in playoffs. Pick: Russia to win @ 1.50 GameBookers (medium-high confidence) or to cover -3.5 @ 1.85 (medium confidence) USA - Lithuania USA is a team which can score 90+ easily, recently they scored less than 80 points to Czech and French teams but that was only because these teams have good defence. Lithuania coach said that he is not expecting win today and planning to let bench players to play more and this is a factor which matter for this bet. USA bench is 2 classes above better than lithuanian bench with 16-17 y.o. girls who never had played on this tournament and I think this game would be the last one where they will get chance to play. Lithuania also doing a lot of turnovers against organized defence so I expect americans to score 20-25 from fast breaks. Lithuania will try to slow down a tempo of this game but I think this would not help in defense where americans are much better. Pick: USA over 85.5 @ 1.85 SportingBet (medium confidence) Cuba - Argentina Hmm.. Cuba won 2 games friendlies against argentians and lost one. Personally for me Cuba is bit better team and odds around 1.55-1.60 is worth to play on their win today. But with low stakes because team class is low and I already lost some of my picks because of this. Pick: Cuba to win @ 1.55 GameBookers (medium-low confidence)
