BETTING TIPS (XXXIV) CYPRUS INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT: SWEDEN - JORDAN

Sweden - Jordan. Sweden -10,5 (1,83) Bet365. Stake 5

Despite the start of Jordan National Team preparations for Cyprus friendly tournament (Aug 3-5) and William Jones cup (Taiwan, Aug 18-26) last week, Jordan NT head coach Thomas Baldwin did'nt appear in trainings and the technical manager Murad Barakat has taken over now. Speculations are talking about a possible resignation from Baldwin due to unknown reasons...

Big names like Osama Daghles, Zaid Abbas, Mousa Awadi, Mohammad Hadrab, Enver Soobzokov and Islam Abbas will also be missed while Youngsters Ahmad Al Dwairi (210-C-93), Moh. Shaher, Majdi Al-Ghazawi (183-PG-93) and Hani El-Faraj will be lead by the experienced guard Wesam Al-Sous (183-PG-83), who lately finished his ban period.

So Murad Barakat  has flewn to Nicosia to take part in Cyprus International Tournament. Cyprus, Norway, Sweden and Jordan will face each from Friday until Sunday at Tassos Papadopoulos Hall in Nicosia. Sweden is preparing for the Eurobasket 2013 Qualifications in August & September while Jordan is working on a Plan for the young generation and Cyprus tourney will be it's first Milestone.

Sweden will be the first opponent for Jordan. Detroit Pistons Star Jonas Jerebko joined his team this week and will be the true leader on offense. Together with Anton Gaddefors, recent Bobcats draft pick Taylor, experienced C Joakim Kjellbom, Carl Engstrom, Thomas Massampa and Erik Rush they should be serious contenteders for qualifying to Slovenian 2013 Eurobasket.

IMO Sweden will smash this unexperienced Jordan NT and should win this friendly game by 20 or more points.
