EuroBasket 2025 Prediction: Greece – Italy (28-08-2025)

On August 27, EuroBasket 2025 will begin, with 24 teams divided into four groups. In Group C, two of the main favorites to take first place, Greece and Italy, will face each other in their first match.

🏀Prediction: Greece -4.5 Handicap @1.82

It is highly likely that the match between these two teams on August 28 will decide who takes first place in the group. Both Italy and Greece are coming to the tournament with strong lineups and are not hiding their ambitions to fight for the top spots. Many bookmakers also consider this clash one of the most important in the opening round.

The Greeks, with Giannis Antetokounmpo, should feel a little more pressure. Will they be able to handle the excitement of the start of the EuroBasket 2025 and get off to a winning start?

Both Greece and Italy are coming to the tournament with almost all of their strongest players. Donte DiVincenzo will not be able to help the Italian national team after receiving his passport, but Darius Thompson will make his debut for the team.

Greece will not only have Giannis Antetokounmpo in the championship, but also solid support around him – nine players who play for Panathinaikos or Olympiacos. While some of these players do not play a major role in club basketball, they will look much better on the national team.

Among these players, Giannoulis Larentzakis and Panagiotis Kalaitzakis stand out, while the core group around G. Antetokounmpo will consist of Kostas Sloukas, Tyler Dorsey, Dinos Mitoglou, and Kostas Papagiannis.

Greece’s only weak spot is its front line. Italy is an opponent that does not have a powerful front line, so it will be much easier for the Greeks to defend themselves against Italian attacks.

The Greeks have good defensive players, while the Italians will have big problems stopping G. Antetokounmpo. Considering that this game could potentially determine which team will take first place, the battle will continue until the very end.

In addition to Italy and Greece, Group C also includes Spain. Mutual advantage could be an important factor here, so this will also be an additional motivation to win by as large a margin as possible. The Greeks have everything they need to start the championship with a solid performance against the Italians.
