I don't see Lithuania as a favorite here. It is true that they have been group leaders, but the teams they have faced are among the worst in the tournament, offensively speaking.
Israel, Georgia, Germany, Italy ... none of them exceeds 74.0 pp with exception of Georgia with 78.0 pp, and curiously they defeated Lithuania.
With Greece the opposite occurs. They have faced Slovenia, France, Finland, Poland and Iceland. Except for the latter, all of them are in the top 10 annotation.
If that were not enough, Lithuania is in the 6th position in annotation with 85.2 pp and 50% in Tc, and Greece in 7th place with 84.2 pp and 51%.
Very similar numbers that are transmitted in the rest of statistics. There is not one team especially superior to the other in any offensive or defensive facet.
Even in efficiency numbers their players go hand in hand. Lithuania has a 98.8 in efficiency per 97.0 of Greece.
At this point everything can happen. Greece comes from solving a match ball with Poland (95-77) showing character, they know to compete. It will certainly be the first real challenge that Lithuania will have in this tournament. And let's not forget: a bad game and you go home.
Greece +5.5
