LTU vs CZE Dream11 Match Prediction

 

LTU vs CZE Dream11: After losing the opening game, Lithuania will be aiming to return to winning ways when they entertain the Czech Republic in EuroBasket Group C match at Siemens Arena on Monday night (IST). That 86-65 defeat to Belgium in the opening game was a shocking result. Not only there is a clear gulf between the two teams, with Lithuania currently the 8th best Basketball team in the world, where Belgium are ranked 39 in the latest FIBA rankings, but the 21 points gap was too big to believe in that matchup.
But Lithuania now returns to their base and will look to start afresh here. They know a defeat here will be catastrophic to their EuroBakset 2021 hopes.
The Czech republic got to a perfect start with a close 75-71 win over Denmark in their opening game. They will now look to maintain the momentum and strengthen their grip in Group C.
