Basketball Betting Tips: Russia vs FYR of Macedonia

Apart from keeping you updated about all the news related to FIBA Basketball, one of our main issues will be producing valuables basketball picks.

As we reported yesterday, we´ll having this weekend some international preparation games in Lithuania. Russia and F.Y.R. Of Macedonia will be clashing this afternoon in Kaunas.

The great outsiders of EuroBasketball 2011 come back to Kauno Arena where they made history qualifying to the semifinals. They will meet Russia, as they did in the game for the bronze medal nine months ago (68-72 was the final score for David Blatt roster).

However, today the scenario will be completely different as Bo McCalebb, Pero Antic, Todor Gecevski and Vlado Ilievski wont be available for the new NT Head Coach, Marjan Lazovski. So Macedonia will have to play without the most important players of the team this weekend.

Russia, on the other hand, has travelled with all its 15 available players to Lithuania. I expect Macedonia will really struggle in this game and the russians will get an easy win.

Russia -11.5 (1.83) Stake 7 Bet365

Russia won the game 80-61 after trailing (30-35) at the HT. There was a big change of attitude and they smashed the young FYR Of Macedonia squad.
