Command Analysis

Iceland

Current form

Iceland can hardly be called even a strong middleweight in Group D, because there are plenty of favorites here. The team has already faced difficulties in the first round of the Eurobasket, when it lost to Israel (71:83). It seemed that Craig Pedersen's guys simply couldn't keep up with their opponent. The head coach drew conclusions after the defeat and will try to rehabilitate himself, because ahead of the meeting with Belgium, where the chances look more real. The Icelanders are able to show a better team game and more aggressive basketball. In case of a second defeat, the chances of reaching the playoffs will decrease dramatically.

Interesting facts for betting

In the last five matches, the national team of Iceland has won only one victory.

Belgium

Current form

The Belgians repeated the fate of their opponent and also started with a defeat. The team could not cope with France, and it was extremely difficult to resist one of the favorites of the tournament (64:92). Despite their efforts, the defense sagged from the first minutes, and attacks often ended in losses. The team has felt what real aggressive pressure is, and now it is important to properly assess their capabilities and move on. In the match against Iceland, the chances look much more promising, because the opponent is inferior in class.

Interesting facts for betting

The Belgian national team has one victory in the last five meetings.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap of Belgium (-2.5) points

1.78

Both teams found themselves in a difficult position after defeats in the first round. Iceland couldn't even cope with a not-so-top opponent, and only showed high-quality basketball in places. Belgium, despite the defeat, left a more complete impression — the team looked more collected and at times imposed the fight on France. We expect a more equal match in the second round, but still the Belgians have a better chance of success due to the better depth of the squad and more experience in the international arena. Most likely, they will win the first victory.

Our betting tip is that the Belgian national team will win, taking into account the handicap (-2.5) points in 1.78
