Command Analysis
Current form
Over the course of the tournament, the Finns improved step by step. First, at the group stage, the team proved itself and took the third place. It was thanks to the three wins at the start that we managed to qualify for the playoffs. Lassi Tuovi's team beat Sweden (93:90), defeated Great Britain (109:79) and de-classified Montenegro (85:65).
Lauri Markkanen fully assumed the role of leader and led the team out of the group. However, there were also unsuccessful performances, because the Finnish national team lost to Lithuania in a hard struggle (81:78), and then failed in a duel against Germany (91:61). It was hard with the Germans, but the most important thing was to learn the right lesson.
In the 1/8 finals, Finland created a sensation of the tournament, knocking out Serbia, which was considered the favorite of the Eurobasket. We saw Markkanen's duel against Jokic on the floor in Riga, and both showed the highest level of skill, but the Finnish team was more accurate in the end and deservedly advanced to the quarterfinals, where they will face Georgia.
Interesting facts for betting
- The Finnish national team has three wins in the last five matches.
- In the last Eurobasket, the Finns also reached the quarterfinals.
Approximate composition: Grandison - Jantunen, Little Valtonen, Markkanen.
Current form
The Georgian national team did not have such a stable group stage, but they fired when it was needed. In five rounds, the team scored only two wins, first sensationally beating Spain (83:69), and then showing class in the match against Cyprus (93:61). This was enough to take fourth place and leave the Spaniards and Cypriots behind.
Do not forget that the team lost to Italy (62:78), Greece (53:94) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (76:84). Reaching the playoffs came as a surprise, because Alexander Dzhikich's team showed far from the most stable basketball.
In the 1/8 finals, the Georgians faced France, and it seemed that the tournament would end for them. But we have witnessed another sensation. Georgia fought like the last time and gave the opponent only one quarter. Tornike Shengelia, Kamar Baldwin and Sandro Mamukelashvili simply punished the French national team (80:70). No matter how Gershon Yabusele and company tried to level the situation, the opponent was almost always one step ahead. The emotions have passed, and now the Georgians need to get down to earth and prepare for a meeting with Finland, which also knows how to surprise.
Interesting facts for betting
- In 3 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, the Georgian national team celebrated the victory.
- In the previous five meetings, the Georgian national team scored only two victories.
Approximate composition: Baldwin - Sanadze, Bitadze- Shengelia, Mamukelashvili.

1.93Tip and bets
Fins led by Lauri Markkanen demonstrate their basketball, which has already taken them to the quarterfinals. Finland acts as a single entity and tries to seize the initiative abruptly. On the other hand, the team is ready for an equal fight, which we saw in the last meeting against Serbia.
Georgia has become a real Robin Hood of the tournament, which takes away victories from top rivals. The team has already beaten Spain and France, so they can be happy with their result. However, most likely, the team will face difficulties in the match against the Finns, because the opponent does not go ahead, but competently assesses the situation and adds at the right moment. In our opinion, Finland has a better chance of going further than the Georgians.
Our betting tip is that the Finnish national team will win with a handicap of (-4) points in 1.75
At the quarterfinal stage, some teams start to act more cautiously, and most likely, we will see this in the next match on the floor in Riga. Finland will try to control the situation and extinguish the attacks of the opponent. At the same time, Georgia will rely on the reliable defense of the Finns, so we do not expect an effective confrontation.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 166 points in 1.73
