FIBA EuroBasket 2015 Betting TipsGroup C may not seem as dazzling or as exciting as some of the other games but there was plenty of excitement and drama in this group on the opening day.

The scores from Group C on the 5th of September were:

  • Georgia 72 – Netherlands 73
  • Macedonia 65 – Greece 85
  • Croatia 80 – Slovenia 73

The opening game in Group C was a nail-biter with the Netherlands eventually grabbing a one point victory. A massive second quarter was the big difference between the teams, welcoming the Dutch back onto the EuroBasket stage in tremendous style. Greece were comfortable winners in the game against Macedonia and you can bet that they’ll be feeling confident about making it through the group stages and progressing in the tournament. The host nation managed to get off to a flying start, holding off Slovenia and boosting their chances of making their way through the group stages.

Previews of Group C games on 6th of September:

Netherlands v Macedonia

Charlon Kloof was a huge player for the Dutch in their opening game and any time it looked as though they may be wavering, he pulled out a big shot to keep his team in the lead. With 22 points, Kloof can be delighted with his performance in this game but he will need to deliver the exact same in this game if the Dutch want to give themselves a huge boost with respect to getting out of the group stage. Robin Smeulders got the match winning point and he will believe he can do the same again in this one.

Macedonia started slowly in their opening game against the Greeks, leaving them with an uphill struggle. They will need to cut this out from their game in the second game and if they can start stronger against the Dutch, this could be a game that is in the balance. Aleksandar Kostoski grabbed 20 points for Macedonia and he will be looking to do the same again in this one.

This has the hallmarks of a tight game and taking Netherlands with a handicap of +2.5, at odds of 1.90, is likely to be a very good decision in this game. For the Over/Under market, make sure that you look to go OVER 138.5, at odds of 1.90. Bet Now!

Slovenia v Georgia

Slovenia were second best across the court against the hosts on Saturday and they know that they face another big game against Georgia on Sunday. This is a group that is still wide open for qualification but if Slovenia lost this one; they may be resigned to heading home this week.

Georgia finished strongly in their opening game and they will look to continue that run of form in their second game. Georgia fell out of the game in the second quarter and if they can minimise some of the mistakes that they made at that level in this game, they will still be in with a chance of making it out of the group and into the knock-out stages.

Taking Georgia with a handicap of +4.5, at odds of 1.90, is likely to be a smart move. Go OVER 146.5 at odds of 1.90 if you are keen to enjoy the Over/Under market. Bet Now!

Greece v Croatia

The Greeks delivered a consistent showing across the game, easing themselves into the tournament gently. The game against the host nation may pose some more problems but the Greek side should be confident about making their way through this game. Georgios Printezis delivered 18 points and he will need to step up again to make the difference in this one.

The biggest news for the hosts came with the fact that Bojan Bogdanovic sat out the final quarter on Saturday after banging his head after a fall. He will therefore be a doubt for this game on Sunday, and this could add to the difficulties that Croatia will face in this game. Krunoslav Simon managed to offer 20 points and 6 rebounds, and he will need to serve up similar in this game if the Croats are going to take anything from the game. Luka Zoric was also a big player with 17 points.

The hosts will be keen to give their fans something to cheer about but taking Greece with a handicap of -3.5 at odds of 1.83 should be a smart option. For the Over/Under market, you should go OVER 144.5 at odds of 1.83. Bet Now!
