Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroBasket 2025 qualifying match.
The Greeks have started their qualifying campaign brilliantly, securing two hard-fought victories in both encounters. Now, they face a challenging match against Great Britain, who, having lost to the Czech Republic, have left themselves no room for error.
Great Britain
The British team are one of the most exciting sides in the tournament. They focus heavily on offence, averaging 90 points with 20 assists per game, although they often neglect their defence. Even the relatively weak Netherlands managed to score 94 points against them. This style leads to a significant number of turnovers (20.5), which the highly skilled Greek players can exploit.
Greece
In contrast, the Greeks aim to play pragmatically. They score only 73 points per game but excel in rebounding, averaging 34.5, with 11 of those coming on the offensive end. Notably, Greece average 10 steals per game, which they convert into 27.5 points.
Great Britain vs Greece Prediction
When teams with contrasting styles meet, the focus shifts from individual skills to the number of errors made, and the British commit far too many. Greece will capitalise on these turnovers and secure easy points. Therefore, we believe the visitors will claim another victory.
