The Georgians easily defeated Cape Verde in the first round with a score of 85:60. They took 60 shots in the game, including only 19 three-pointers. Obviously, they focused on mid-range and short-range attacks, and they were successful, hitting 21 of 41 two-pointers.
Bookmakers do not believe that the Georgian national team will do anything similar against the Slovenians.
Slovenia
Sekulic's team defeated Venezuela by 100-85. The opponent opted to attack Slovenia from beyond the arc, hitting 40 shots from beyond the arc. They attacked only 27 times from the paint and hit 15 times, which is more than 55%.
Will the Georgians pressure Slovenia? The Americans did just that recently, outscoring the Slovenians 30-46, and the Slovenians couldn't defend effectively in the paint. It's quite possible that Georgia won't leave their bigmen without the ball again, and Shengelia, Shermadini and Bitadze will get plenty of assists and offensive opportunities.
In all previous head-to-heads, Slovenia has outscored Georgia from long distance: 15-7 at EuroBasket 2011, 9-5 in 2013 and 11-3 in 2015.
Expert Betting Tips
The Slovenians regularly beat Georgia from distance, and the Georgians beat Slovenia from under the basket. Why not bet that this will continue?
