The duel between Turkey and Serbia steals the show from everything else, even if at this point some teams are already playing for survival.
That’s the case for Romania, Hungary and Great Britain.
Latvia – Great Britain – Group D (14.15 local time)
Expect one more highlight reel by Kristaps Porzingis and company. Great Britain doesn’t have a win yet and this probably will not change.
Hungary – Czech Republic – Group C (15.00 local time)
This is probably the last chance for Hungary to enter the race for a ticket in the next phase and that alone makes this game interesting.
Belgium – Russia – Group D (17.00 local time)
Russia remains perfect, Belgium is one of the weakest team of the group and in recent years that’s the kind of games where Russia blunders. However, this year things seem to be different.
Montenegro – Croatia – Group C (17.45 local time)
It’s clear that unbeaten Croatia is the favorite, still, Montenegro can give them a real game and maybe create an upset. It’s going to be interesting.
Spain – Romania – Group C (20.30 local time)
The only question is if this is going to be the game in which Pau Gasol will become the all time scoring leader in Eurobasket’s history.
Serbia – Turkey – Group D (21.00 local time)
That’s a real game. After losing to Russia, Serbia needs to bounce back. The same applies for Turkey which has suffered the same fate against Russia. It’s a really crucial game for both teams and it’s not easy to predict the outcome. The must-see contest of the day.
