Lithuania vs Sweden Preview and Prediction - Sept. 3 | 2025 EuroBasket

EuroBasket 2025 is heating up as the group stage nears its conclusion. With just one game left to play, Sweden faces Lithuania on Wednesday in a crucial Group B game that could determine their place in the Round of 16.

Lithuania (3-1) has already qualified for the knockout rounds as Jonas Valanciūnas and Co. sit comfortably in second below Germany. Meanwhile, Sweden (1-3) is No. 5 in the rankings and will need to beat Lithuania if they are to qualify for the knockout rounds.

Group B has proven to be one of the most competitive in EuroBasket 2025, featuring Germany, Montenegro and the hosts, Finland. With three of the four Round of 16 spots already locked in, the last berth is still up for grabs.

Sweden and Montenegro are tied on five points, but Montenegro currently holds the edge at No. 4, thanks to its superior point differential. This sets up a tense showdown as Sweden looks to break through.

Lithuania vs. Sweden preview

Lithuania entered the tournament with a 6-1 record in their preliminary games and has carried this form into the tournament. Defeating Great Britain and Montenegro in their first two games, their only loss has come against world champions Germany.

However, the team recovered from the defeat quickly and beat Finland 81-78 in their fourth game, qualifying for the knockout stages. Bayern Munich star Rokas Jokubaitis has led the team in scoring during the tourney, recording 17.3 points while providing 8.5 assists.

On the other hand, Sweden has been poor to say the least. Entering the tournament with a 1-4 record, the team lost its first two games against Finland and Germany. Although they did manage a win against a bottom-placed Great Britain, they followed it with a defeat against Montenegro.

Miami Heat's Pelle Larsson has been their best performer in the tournament, with the youngster averaging 20.3 points per game. However, his performances have not been enough for the team, as they are on the brink of elimination.
