Eurobasket 2019

Question

As we know, some of the WNBA girls will be in this competition which starts 27th June and finishes around the 7th July, so a really quick competition. The competition is held between Latvia and Serbia, so expect those countries to have great support.

There are 16 countries which are put into 4 groups of 4.

The number beside the country is their current world ranking;

2. Spain

4. France

6. Turkey

8. Serbia

11. Russia

12. Czech Republic
13. Belarus

16. Belgium

24. Latvia

25. Great Britain

26. Montenegro

31. Italy

41. Sweden

38. Ukraine

50. Hungary

63. Slovenia

Spain and France hot favs to win this competition, I think the Spanish team is the fav with France in second.

Group A

Ukraine

Great Britain

Latvia
Spain

Group B

Sweden

France

Czech Republic

Montenegro

Group C

Hungary

Turkey

Italy

Slovenia

Group D

Belarus

Russia

Belgium

Serbia

Toughest group is that Group D, with Russia/Belgium/Serbia are possible of going through. Belarus isn't a bad country either and could upset a few.

I may have a few futures plays coming up.

Will keep all plays under this one thread, feel free to chime in.

next one...France vs Cze again looking at a lean toward under 139.

A big match up for France defensive with array of 6'3 towers stopping Cze from come closer to the basket and force that ugly jumpers. The Cze has no legit center and will use their small forwards to a 4's etc.

I&#x27;ll be following it closely

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Good stuff Rod, might be some nice juicy underdogs to take in the tournament.You thinking Belgium can win the title?

brew82 · Answer

Aussie, it looks like Turkey is in the weakest group. What do you think about Turkey -.5 against Italy and -4.5 against Slovenia?

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Turkey -4.5 is a pretty small line considering their difference in WR&#x27;s. Because that game is going to be a B2B game for Turkey, I would wait to maybe see how they perform against the Italians on opening night. Italy have a decent line-up and both those teams love to play slow ball so I am expecting a grind-em kind of game. But, if you do wait that long, then the -4.5 will get higher. Your call on when you take the line Brew but Turkey should be able to handle Slovenia on such a small line. With the Italy game, that&#x27;s a tough call because Italy are a decent team mate and I would probably sit that game out.

Rekkles · Answer

gb higher, but underdogs against latvia &#x2B;5 points lol, took it small stake.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

I believe that Latvia might have a bit of a letdown tournament this year. That might be a very nice bet you have made there.

brew82 · Answer

I&#x2019;m going small Montenegro ml against Sweden. I love international tournaments, playing for pride of your country.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Good luck Brew. The Swedes have not been good leading into the tournament and although Montenegro has not played a big country for some time but they should come out swinging especially as the underdogs.

kings_duce · Answer

No Greece this year...they are the under&#x27;s machines.anyway opening game - Sweden vs Montenegro under 127

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Good luck Duce..Maybe the Italians and Turkey are the new Greeks of this tournament.

YanksHeels1 · Answer

This Sweden/Montenegro game is hard to watch, unless youre on the under and then its still hard to watch but going your way.

kings_duce · Answer

No play on this one there are plenty of games to come...FWIW both teams are not in 100% form...under 139 and Cze &#x2B;14are the right plays.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Russia vs Belgium: Belgium -2.5Taking the Belgians because I think they are on a mission this tournament and this is their best chance of winning a title and would want to start off on a winning note

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Slovenia vs Hungary: Over 142.5Both teams should push the pace and aren&#x2019;t known for their stellar defence so I think we see both teams hit 70&#x2B; and get this game over

kings_duce · Answer

Yes I agree with you with over 142 I had 1 unit on it soon after the opening game had finished,Slovenia seems to push the pace &amp; drag along opposite team with scoring.  I hope Hungary can keep up FG % and hang around 60 to 68 points.The Belgium game I too almost jump at -2.5 as well but Emma 33 is not playing, so i&#x2019;ll Give it a miss.
