SERBIA – LITHUANIA: Eagles Battle for European Championship Semi-Finals /LIVE STREAM/
- Serbia first defeated Switzerland at the European Championship.

Serbia – Lithuania (kick-off at 1:15 PM CET)
Match Preview
The Serbian basketball team will be aiming for another medal at the European Championship this week, and their most crucial match on that path could be the quarter-final clash against Lithuania.
It's widely known that the quarter-finals are often the toughest game in any tournament, primarily due to the immense psychological pressure. Winners advance to compete for medals, while losers pack their bags. This is precisely the situation the Serbian 3x3 basketball players will face this week at 1:15 PM CET, as they take on Lithuania in their European Championship quarter-final match in Antwerp.
The Eagles topped their group, securing victories over Switzerland and host nation Belgium. Lithuania, meanwhile, finished second in their group, behind Latvia but ahead of the Republic of Ireland. This group placement has set up the Serbia-Lithuania encounter in the quarter-finals, which will be the first match of Sunday's schedule.
Knockout Stage Bracket
The entire knockout phase will be played on Sunday, meaning all quarter-final winners will compete in three matches on the same day.
Should Serbia defeat Lithuania, they will face the winner of the Germany – Netherlands match (kick-off at 1:45 PM CET) in the semi-finals.
On the other side of the bracket, the pairings are Spain – France (3:30 PM CET) and Latvia – Belgium (4:00 PM CET).
The semi-final matches are scheduled for 7:00 PM CET and 7:30 PM CET, the bronze medal game for 8:45 PM CET, and the grand final for 9:45 PM CET.
