BETTING TIPS (XXXVI) EUROBASKET 2013 QUALIFIERS: ICELAND - SERBIA

Welcome back mates!

Eurobasket 2013 Qualification Round starts in one hour and a half and this is my first pick for this competition:

Iceland - Serbia. Iceland +30.5 (1,90) NordicBet. Stake 2

(Value Bet till +28 Several Bookies) 

Iceland's last EuroBasket Division B campaign was in 2009. Flash forward three years and the stakes are now considerably higher for Iceland. Starting tonight, the national team is not embarking on a campaign to earn promotion, but to secure a place in the 24-team EuroBasket 2013. 

The Division A and B system is now defunct and everyone is given a fair chance of earning a ticket to the big stage. Such a great prize for Iceland NT that will have, once again, Jon Stefansson as the go-to player, helped by Pavel Ermolinskij and the youngster Haukur Palsson.

Serbia travelled to Iceland without Nenad Krstic and Zoran Erceg. Dusan Ivkovic took the following squad to Reykjavik: Miloš Teodosić, Milenko Tepić, Aleksandar Rašić, Ivan Paunić, Nemanja Bjelica, Duško Savanović, Marko Kešelj, Milan Mačvan, Dejan Musli, Nemanja Nedović, Vladimir Štimac and Vladimir Lučić.

Except Vladimir Stimac, there won´t be big Cs avalaible for Ivkovic tonight. I think that Serbia will outscore Iceland but they will rotate all players. The handicap is too high regarding the long trip to Reykjavik and the big game on saturday against Montenegro for Ivkovic´s squad. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iceland 78-91 Serbia +1,8 Units

Ivkovic gave chances to all the youngsters and Serbia, quite relaxed, didn´t give their best on deffense. Iceland, led by Stefansson and Ermolinskij played really well moving the ball and finding open shots. Easy Profit !
