Lithuania vs Serbia: Team Comparison
The upcoming quarter-final matchup between Serbia and Lithuania in the FIBA World Cup 2023 promises to be a captivating game. Lithuania has emerged as the tournament's biggest surprise, boasting an unblemished record and consistently exceeding point spread expectations.

As far as the three-point shot is concerned, Lithuania has been hot from beyond the arc all tournament long. Meanwhile, Serbia has faced challenges in defending the perimeter players which could cause them trouble in this particular matchup.

Ultimately, this game could fall either way, but it would take Serbia its best game of the tournament thus far to overcome a confident Lithuania.
