Germany and Lithuania are the favorites in Group B at EuroBasket, while the Montenegrin national basketball team will fight with other teams for a place in the round of 16, coach Boško Radović told "Vijesti" after the draw.

Montenegro will play in Group B at the European Championship in Tampere with hosts Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Sweden and Great Britain. Four teams from the group will advance to the round of 16.

"Germany and Lithuania are the favorites in the group. The other four teams will fight to advance. We played with the Germans and the Swedes in the Eurobasket qualification group. We got teams that have a different style of play than us. Realistically, we got a group in which we can seek to advance to the round of 16. All the teams are serious. I hope that we will be in the strongest squad at the championship, so that we are absolutely competitive for advancement," coach Boško Radović told "Vijesti" after the draw.

Montenegro will play in EuroBasket for the fifth time in history, and the third time in a row. At the previous championship, three years ago, our team was stopped by Germany in the round of 16 in Berlin.

Eurobasket is scheduled from August 27 to September 14.
