Croatia vs Ukraine Prediction: Croats will win by a narrow margin

The Ukrainian national team has won three out of four matches and will play Croatia in the final round of the EuroBasket group stage. Will the Ukrainians be able to finish the group on a positive note? Let's choose several bets at once.

The Croatian national team has 2 wins and 2 defeats on approaching the last round of the group stage. The Croats won both of their matches against significantly inferior opponents, Estonia (73-70) and Great Britain (96-65). Croatia lost both its matches against equally ranked teams: to Greece (85-89) and Italy (76-81). It seems that in the playoffs, where the Croats have already qualified, Damir Mulaomerovic's team will have serious problems.

In the previous game, the Ukrainian national team lost the battle for the first place in Group C after losing to Greece (79-99). This defeat was only the first for the Ukrainians in the tournament. In the first three rounds, Ainars Bagatskis' team defeated Great Britain (90-61), Estonia (74-73), and Italy (84-73).

Croatia has 5 wins in a row against Ukraine.

Ukraine's defeat at the hands ofvGreece with a difference of 20 points shouldn't mislead – the Greeks are simply objectively stronger than all teams in their group. But in the match against Italy, the Ukrainians showed their high class. It seems that Croatia will have a hard time with this opponent. Fortunately, the Croats do not really need it: they have already secured a place in the playoffs.

Our prediction: Croatia may win, but unlikely with a large difference in the score.
