Group A: Türkiye, Serbia, Latvia, Estonia, Portugal, Czech Republic

European Cup matches are in full swing. As of now, the final trend of the group stage has been fully demonstrated. In Group A, the overall strength gap between the six teams is quite significant. As of now, Türkiye and Serbia have confirmed to win the top 16 seats, while the Czech Republic has confirmed to be eliminated. Even though the Czech Republic was able to defeat Latvia in the last game, because it lost all the first four games, the Czech Republic has missed the knockout round based on the victory or defeat.

Next was Türkiye and Serbia. Under the leadership of Shin Kyung-Hong Kong-Hong Kong-Dong teacher, both teams won four consecutive victories. Therefore, no matter who wins and loses the two teams in the future, both teams will advance to the quarterfinals. However, the ranking of the group matches is directly related to the final match result of the knockout stage, so the two teams will still go all out to compete for the first place in the group. The third promotion quota in Group A belongs to Latvia. Latvia's current record is 2 wins and 2 losses, and the final game of the group will face the Czech Republic. Unless Latvia intends to let the water go, it is reasonable to defeat the Czech Republic. The last place will need to compete with Estonia and Portugal. Judging from the current competitive situation, Estonia's overall strength is relatively stronger, its three-point shooting ability is excellent, it has obvious outside advantages, and Estonia's characteristics can fully restrain Portugal. But Portugal has an inside player who plays in the NBA. In the end, with his outstanding performance, Portugal successfully defeated Estonia and advanced to the semi-finals. The final promotion list of Group A is: Serbia, Turkey, Latvia, Portugal Group B: Germany, Lithuania, Finland, Montenegro, Sweden, and the United Kingdom Group B is also a strong group. In Group B, Germany has absolute dominance and currently maintains a complete victory record in the group stage and has been confirmed to advance to the knockout round. Secondly, the two teams that also advanced to Group B are Lithuania and Finland, with the two teams having the same record, both of which are 3 wins and 1 loss. But the victory and loss relationship has been determined, and Finland lost to Lithuania in the matchup. At the same time, other teams cannot surpass these two teams in terms of record, so Germany is the first in Group B, Lithuania is the second in Group B, and Finland is the third.

Currently, the UK team with 1 win and 4 losses in the group stage is the same as Montenegro, but since Montenegro lost to the UK in the game, the UK is currently in the fourth place in the group. However, Sweden defeated Britain, so Sweden would be fourth in the group. Although the last game in Group B is a showdown between Lithuania and Sweden, as long as Lithuania performs normally, it is inevitable to defeat Sweden. If Sweden defeats Lithuania, it will only affect the rankings of the top three. Therefore, the teams that were eliminated in Group B would be Montenegro and the United Kingdom, and would eventually be ranked in Germany, Lithuania, Finland and Sweden.

Group B's final promotion list is: Germany, Lithuania, Finland, Sweden

The top 16 matches are predicted: Serbia vs Sweden

Turkey vs Finland

Latvia vs Lithuania

Portugal vs Germany
