Oracle of DelphiSerbia U19 – USA U19
July 22nd 2007 14:41
Those are two best teams in whole Championship and they both deserve to play in Final. They’ve already played In the third round of the group stage and USA won that match 82:78. Serbia was better in 1st and 4th quarter , but that wasn’t enough for victory. Main problem for Serbian players was very low percent of free throws and if they can change that in the Final they will be very close to the title.
In the semifinals USA eliminated France , but France was dominating team almost whole match. USA won after great last two minutes of the match and excellent performances of Dion Thompson who scored decisive points for USA and inverted France 8 pts advantage to the final 78:75 for USA. He scored 18 pts and had 13 rebounds.
In second semifinal Serbia didn’t have much problems with Brasil. They had an early lead 11:0 and till the end of the match Serbia completely controlled match for the final 89:74. Best player was Jeremić with 21 pts and 7 rebounds.
If Serbian players plays good defense without much “running” with USA players they will have better chances to win the title. Also, championship takes place in Novi Sad in Serbia , so Serbian players will have great support from about 8.000 spectators. My pick is Serbia to win ( extra time included) with great odds around 2.75 @ bet-at-home.
Serbia won 74:69
