Lithuania vs Montenegro Prediction and Betting Tips – EuroBasket 2025

Lithuania and Montenegro meet on August 29 in EuroBasket 2025, and this prediction looks at how both teams arrive after very different opening games. Lithuania dominated Great Britain 94-70, setting a new tournament rebound record with 57 boards, while Montenegro suffered a heavy 106-76 defeat to Germany. The contrast in performances sets the stage for an intriguing clash where Lituania’s depth and inside presence could be decisive.

European powerhouse showed their strength with Jonas Valančiūnas scoring 18 points and grabbing 9 rebounds, while Ąžuolas Tubelis added 17 points and 7 rebounds. Lithuania did not need to play their leaders for long, R. Jokubaitis had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in just 18 minutes. For fans looking to make the game even more thrilling, placing a bet at the best betting sites is a must.

Despite a poor shooting night from distance and the free-throw line, they controlled the paint and used a 17-5 third quarter run to secure a comfortable margin. Montenegro, in contrast, leaned almost entirely on Nikola Vučević, who delivered 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, but lacked support beyond Kyle Allman and Igor Drobnjak.

The prediction for this matchup is that Lithuania’s rebounding power and balanced scoring will overwhelm a Montenegro side too reliant on Vučević. Lithuania has squad depth, they use at least 10 players in each game, try to run and play fast, which might be overwhelming for short handed Montenegro squad.

There is no way that Lithuania will shoot as bad as they did in the first game and that should be enough to take an easy win over their opponents. Expect Lithuania to push past a single-digit spread and continue their strong start in Tampere. If you want to learn more about upcoming EuroBasket – visit EuroBasket 2025 Overview and Betting Tips.
