Pick: Serbia -6
Odds: 1.96
Stake: 8/10
This will not be such a close game. Even with all the losses, Serbia is just better. Better individually and much better as a team. They played the whole preparations with more or less this team and they have equally good substitutes for missing players.
Russia seems decent, but yesterday handled the ball just terrible and complained about the ball itself in the press conference. I expect Serbia to destroy russians on points off turnovers.
Shved is very good on one end and terrible on the other. Bogdanovic will contain him on defense, but it will be very bad for russians on the other end. Not to forget that Bogdanovic plays on his "home court" in Fener arena and his first game was not a fluke.
Also Serbia has 4+ hours more to rest and prepare for this game.
They had a friendly which ended 85-75 for Serbia, which doesn't say much, but is closer to what the line should look like.
Best offer on 1xbet at -6.
