Georgia vs Spain Prediction: the Red Fury to concede & then win

The Spanish team had no problems in the opening match of the tournament against Bulgaria, winning +27. Will the Spaniards win the game with the Georgian team as confidently? Let's choose several bets at once.

In the first round of the group stage, the Georgian national team unexpectedly lost to the Belgian national team, 76-79 (70-70). Apparently, the pressure from the stands had an impact on Elias Zouros's team, as the group stage of EuroBasket is at home for the Georgian national team. The most productive player on the team in the match with Belgium was Sandro Mamukelashvili from Milwaukee Bucks who scored 18 points + 14 rebounds. Murcia guard Thad McFadden had 17 points; Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze had 14 points.

Despite their confident play against Bulgaria, Sergio Scariolo's squad can hardly be completely satisfied with their EuroBasket opener. The Spaniards allowed 87 points against one of the weakest teams in the tournament. With such a play on defense, it will be difficult for Spain to reach high marks in this tournament.

The two sides recently met in the World Cup qualifying and exchanged home victories. 

The Georgian national team has a good enough frontcourt in the form of NBA players Bitadze and Mamukelashvili. The Spaniards, who, as shown in their game against Bulgaria, lack adequate defense near the basket, could have problems in the upcoming game. Sergio Scariolo's team will surely win anyway, given that the difference in class is too great.

Prediction: Spain will win in a high-scoring match.

Betting options:

• Georgia ITO (71.5) for 1.828;
• Spain To Win By 6-10 Points for 5.00;
• Spain To Win And Total > 154.5 for 2.02.
