United States vs Lithuania Preview & Picks

Lithuania are tipped to cover as a betting underdog.

The USA have been hit-or-miss as heavy favorites, while in-form Lithuania have covered in every game so far.

  • Lithuania are 4-0-0 ATS at the FIBA World Cup
  • United States are 2-2-0 ATS through 4 games
  • The Under has cashed in 3 of USA’s 4 games so far
  • The Under has hit in 3 of Lithuania’s last 4 games

Head To Head

  • United States lead the series 5-1
  • United States won 96-68 when the teams last met in September 2014

United States Form

The United States continue to boast a perfect record and are headed for the knockout stage.

The Americans came into the tournament as the favourite to win the competition and overcame a lacklustre start to beat New Zealand 99-72.

They pulled away in the second half of that one and continued that relentless pace over the next two games.

Steve Kerr’s team cruised to a 109-81 win against Greece, before demolishing Jordan, 110-62, to book their place in the second round.

The United States then started the second group stage with an 85-73 win over a stubborn Montenegro team.

Lithuania Form

Lithuania also come into this matchup with a 100% record, having won all four of their games so far.

The Lithuanians cruised through the first round group stage with a string of one-sided victories.

They opened with a 93-67 blowout of Egypt, before blowing out Mexico 96-66 to put one foot in the second round.

Lithuania then sealed their progression in the FIBA World Cup with a convincing 91-71 victory over Montenegro.

The Lithuanians showed no signs of slowing down in their opening second game either, crushing Greece 92-67 to seal a place in the knockouts with a game to spare.

Verdict

The United States are the better team, but have been an unreliable spread bet so far.

The same cannot be said for in-form Lithuania, who are full of confidence and are an appealing pick with the points.
