Hungary vs Lithuania Prediction: the Lithuanians Have Nowhere to Retreat

The Lithuanian team has lost all three starting EuroBasket games. In the 4th round, Kazys Maskvytis' wards will face the Hungarian team. Will the Lithuanians manage to win? Let's pick a few bets.

The Hungarian team failed the first two matches of the tournament. First, the Hungarians lost to Bosnia 87:97. Then they could not cope with the European Champion Slovenia 88:103. However, in the third round game, Hungary got on the nerves of the finalist of the last Olympic Games team France, and anyway lost, but with a difference of only 4 points. 74:78 - traditionally, Real Madrid forward Adam Hanga was the best player of the Hungarians with 18 points. 

The Lithuanians were approaching their third-round game against Germany after two defeats to Slovenia (82:95) and France (73:77); thus, they badly needed a victory. But Lithuania could not win in a game with the Germans either. The opponents had to play two overtimes; Germany was stronger - 109:107 (89:89). The Lithuanians had to defeat Hungary and Bosnia in the final group-stage matches to reach the Eurobasket playoffs and expect the rivals to make mistakes.

The Lithuanian team has no choice but to beat Hungary as confidently as possible. The potential of the opponents in the upcoming match is not comparable. So there is a high probability that the Lithuanians, motivated by three defeats, will finally release it. That means that the team of Kazys Maskvitis will most likely cope with the Hungarians without too many problems.
