Montenegro vs Lithuania preview

In their last matchup, the Montenegrins had the Germans in a bind, at least for the first two quarters. The FIBA World Cup champions changed their complacent approach and reinstated their focus to grab a win.

With their first game of the campaign, Montenegro made it clear that they should not be taken lightly. The Baltic Giants will need to be careful and not underestimate their opponents.

Lithuania's performance will highly depend on how its star players perform. Jonas Valanciunas is expected to play a key role in the game while the rest of the squad supports him. On the other hand, the Montenegrins with Nikola Vucevic will have to go an extra mile in their on-court efforts to secure a win.

Montenegro vs Lithuania prediction

The Baltic Giants hold the upper hand on the Montenegrins. They also have a better roster on paper; however, there is always room for upsets in any basketball game.

Montenegro has shown that they don't shy away from being gritty on the court, but for now, it looks like the Giants will walk away with a win.
