<p>No one could have predicted that any of these teams would go as deep as the quarterfinals, and now one of them will go even deeper, among the top four teams left at the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-aus-other/eurobasket-men">2025 EuroBasket</a>.</p> <p>Finland and Georgia will get on the court on Thursday, September 11, 00:00 AEST for a place in the semi-finals, which would be the greatest accomplishment in the basketball history of either nation.</p> <p>Both Finland and Georgia beat the odds in the round of 16 against two of the main favourites, and this matchup will be a pure joy for every basketball fan.</p> <p>Let’s take a look at what could happen when these two meet in their sixth clash at the EuroBasket.</p> <h2>Finland vs Georgia: Betting Preview</h2> <p>Just being on the 2025 EuroBasket was a major success for Finland and Georgia, and now one of them will get only one step away from a medal.</p> <p>Finland stunned Serbia 92-86 in the round of 16 in an epic performance. They led most of the game and handled the pressure in the last quarter. Finland made 15 three-pointers and had 20 offensive rebounds to beat the favourite. As usual, Lauri Markkanen led the team with 26 points, followed by Miro Little with 25.</p> <p>Georgia’s 80-70 win over France was another huge upset in the round of 16. Georgia played amazing defence holding the opponents to only 35.2% shooting from the field. On the offensive end, they were very solid, making 10 of 18 three-point attempts.</p> <h2>Finland vs Georgia: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Finland showed the basketball world that every nation can play good basketball today, beating Serbia in the last 16. Just when we thought we saw the biggest upset in the tournament, Georgia stunned France the very next day.</p> <p>What made these wins even more special is the fact that both Finland and Georgia dominated their last games and had the lead for most of the game. We expect nothing but <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-aus-other/eurobasket-men/finland-v-georgia-9601276">a tight battle for a spot in the semi-finals</a>, as this is a historic opportunity for either side.&nbsp;</p> <p>Finland will have the best player on the court, Lauri Markkanen, who is literally unstoppable on the offensive end. The Utah Jazz forward has grown into one of the most versatile scorers, even in the NBA, and Georgia will have no chance of slowing him down. Markkanen is aware that he would need to have an excellent game to take his team to the semis, so going with points over on him is the right choice, regardless of the point line.</p> <p>Finland is the better overall team as well, and going with them to cover the handicap is another solid option.</p> <p>Their pace will be tough to match for Georgia for multiple reasons. Georgian head coach Aleksandar Djikic is known for his long possessions, which will not work against Finland. Moreover, Tornike Shengelia has had medical issues that demand limited playing time for the Georgian's best player.</p>
