The FIBA World Cup gets underway this week, so we’ve taken the time to put together the best Egypt vs Lithuania betting tips for Friday night. Lithuania is unsurprisingly a 19.5-point favourite for the matchup, and very few Egypt vs Lithuania predictions will be expecting the underdogs to keep this close.
We have surveyed the best betting sites to find the top value wagers for this game…
Egypt vs Lithuania Betting Tips
- Lithuania -19.5 @ 10/11 BetKing
- Under 157.5 total points @ 10/11 BetKing
- Egypt under 69.5 points @ 4/5 BetKing
Lithuania cover sizeable spread
Lithuania might be without Domantas Sabonis, but they are still led by New Orleans Pelicans big man Jonas Valanciunas and have more talent than this Egypt squad. Impressive in EuroBasket last summer, even taking champions Spain to overtime in the knockout phase, Lithuania are a dark horse at this World Cup.
Yes, this is a big spread in Egypt vs Lithuania odds, but they made light work of Hungary in the qualifiers and should be able to record a heavy win here.
Egypt lost all five of their preliminary round games when they last appeared at the World Cup.
Egypt vs Lithuania Bet 1: Lithuania -19.5 @ 10/11 BetKing
Take the under
Since EuroBasket, all four of Lithuania’s competitive games have gone under this total. Just 134 total points were scored in Egypt’s final warm-up game.
A higher line fits with the massive spread, but this still seems on the high side. Even in a massive blowout win for the Lithuanians, there’s a very good chance we go under this number.
Egypt vs Lithuania Bet 2: Under 157.5 total points @ 10/11 BetKing
Egypt held below 70 points
If we think the under on the game total is value, then the same goes for Egypt’s line. This number seems far too high given the offensive basketball Egypt have played of late.
The Egyptians have scored under 69.5 points in three of their last five games, and that’s when they were facing much inferior opposition.
Lithuania conceded exactly 80 to each of Finland and Puerto Rico, plus have rarely kept teams below this number, but we think this is enough of a mismatch for their defence to keep Egypt in the sixties or below.
Egypt vs Lithuania Bet 3: Egypt under 69.5 points @ 4/5 BetKing
