17/08/2016 15:00 BST – Australia v Lithuania – Betting Tips
Second from Group A goes up against third from Group B in the opening quarter-final of the Men’s 2016 Rio Games basketball tournament. This is going to be a game that is very hard to call as both teams will feel that they have a solid chance of making it through to the semi-finals.
With a 4-1 record in Group A, losing only to Brazil, Australia deserve respect in the tournament and there is a great deal to be said for backing the Australians in this match. They’ve shown great strength and a number of players have conjured up points for them at difficult times. They should have enough to deal with Lithuania but they will have a difficult match ahead of them.
Like all the qualifying teams from group B, Lithuania ended with a 3-2 record but they won’t be feeling inferior coming into this game. This is a team that has a strong pedigree in recent times and they know what it takes to grind out victories. You can expect Mindaugas Kuzminskas to be in the mix when it comes to the big moments of this match.
