Command Analysis

Romania

Current form

The Romanians finished the first round of qualifying with three defeats. The team was not ready for the pressure from Greece (64:91), Montenegro (75:80) and Portugal (82:99). The last meeting showed that the problem in defense has not gone away and it is unlikely that the head coach has a solution. The next match will be held at home, where Romania will try to take revenge on the Portuguese, although it will enter the floor as an outsider.

Interesting facts for betting

The Romanian national team cannot win for four matches.

Portugal

Current form

The Portuguese lead Group B after three matches. The team confidently beat Montenegro (83:62) and defeated Romania (99:82) in the last meeting. Diogo Brito was one of the best on the floor and scored 32 points. There was also a defeat, as the national team could not cope with Greece (68:76). Portugal is preparing for a meeting with the Romanians, where it will try to take points away from the opponent again, thereby having a chance to maintain its leadership in the group.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap of Portugal (-3.5) points

1.83

The previous match showed that the Romanians are unreliable in defense and generally crumble under aggressive pressure. Of course, Romania will try to show its teeth at home. Portugal leads the group, and that's not for nothing. The national team understands perfectly well that in the next match it is necessary to take points at any cost in order to remain on the first line. The guests have a huge psychological advantage after the defeat in the first round and a more balanced squad. It is unlikely that the hosts will be able to radically change their game in a short period of time. In our opinion, the guests will win for the second time.

Our betting tip is for Portugal to win, taking into account the handicap (-3.5) points in 1.83
