After the feat against Serbia in the round of 16, Pozzecco’s Italy challenges Gobert and his teammates for a place in the semifinals: what the bookmakers say
“We keep dreaming”. Word of Gianmarco Pozzecco, the watchword on the eve of the Eurobasket quarter-final match for Italy. Sunday’s feat against Jokic’s Serbia is still vivid, but now it’s time to think about Gobert and Fournier, just to name two NBA stars. Two-ball Wednesday at 5.15pm.
HOW THE TWO TEAMS ARRIVE
–
Italy arrives on the wings of enthusiasm, after the huge victory against Serbia. As underdogs, the Azzurri were perfect and closed in crescendo in the last two quarters: Melli’s performance on Jokic was gigantic, Spissu’s three-folds were lethal. France beat Turkey not without worries: 87-86 after an extra time, but at the siren of the fourth period the quintet of coach Ataman had in hand the triple of the victory, in a match in which Gobert made the big voice with 20 points and, above all, 17 rebounds.

PREVIOUS
–
There are numerous precedents between the two national teams. The last two very close, in two friendlies played before the start of the European championship: a narrow defeat (77-78) in Bologna on 12 August, a large victory for France in Montpellier (100-68) four days later. The last official crossing dates back to the Tokyo Olympics, still in the quarter-finals: the French prevailed with a score of 84-75; while the last preceding the European Championships dates back to 2011, the last match of the first phase: another transalpine victory (91-84) and Pianigiani’s Azzurri eliminated.
QUOTES
–
With the victory over Serbia Italy has certainly gained credit, but for the bookmakers the Azzurri are not favorites against France. For Sisal, the victory of France is worth 1.48, a blue success 2.60. Almost identical odds for Snai (1.47 – 2.60), while Italy drops slightly on Leovegas 2.55, but France does too (1.44). Finally Betfair, where the odds are respectively 1.45 and 2.65. You can also bet on the total points scored by both teams: again on Betfair, for example, Over and Under 159.5 are equal to 1.88. In this sense, it is useful to know some statistics: France travels so far with an average of 47% shooting, against 44% of Italy. The French are more precise from two (53.4% against 50%), from three the Azzurri are better (35.3% vs 37.4%).
