18-01-2017 18:00 BST - Neptunas Klaipeda v Ventspils - Champions League Betting Tips
This is exactly the sort of basketball game fans want to see as we close in on the end of the group stage in the FIBA Champions League. The side sitting second in Group C, with an 8-4 record, welcome the side who are sitting in third spot, with a 7-5 record. Both of these teams will have ambitions of grabbing the second spot in the table and the possible entry to the second phase of the Round of 16. There is also a bit of pressure around them and below them, so there is plenty to look out for in this game with the outcome of the match impacting a good few teams in Group C.
When these teams met earlier on in the season it was the Latvians who triumphed over the Lithuanians. Ventspils grabbed a 66-61 win at home, and the close nature of that game is likely to be replicated in this midweek’s match. Both of these teams will take solace and inspiration from that game. The winners know that they have what it takes to overcome their rivals while the losing side knows that they now have home advantage, which they hope will make all the difference.
