Pick: Lithuania U20 (handicap +4) @1.770 10/10 -10.00
Lithuania re the better team than Israel in my eyes. Bookies have Israel as favourites because they're playing at home. However, Lithuania have higher calibre playedrs like A.Velicka, L.Uleckas, V.Kozys. Also the squad is much better than the hosts and they have solid players who have been very important off the bench like I.Sargiunas and G.Vasiliauskas.
The home team is being led by an 18 year old player Yam Madar who averages 18 points and 8 assists per game. His main helpers are Yair Kravits (13 ppg 5 rpg 3 apg) and Deni Avdija (16 ppg 8 rpg 6 apg). Out of the bigs the player worth mentioning is number 4 Noam Avivi who averages 12 pts 3 rebs 3 ast but they don't have much help off the bench when it comes to big men.
Looking at stats, Lithuania are a better rebounding team, they are higher scoring, shooting percentages are quite similar and the stat that really stands out is the bench production as Lithuania's bench average 11 more points than Israel's does. Also worth mentioning that the Lithuanian squad is much better built because they have solid guards and bigs who can play 1 on 1.
In my opinion Lithuania aren't only capable of covering this Handicap, but also to win this match.
