With the coach Van Helfteren, Netherlands are always a good pick for under. They base their game on the defense, and have no options in the offense, especially with Norel gone from the paint. Netherlands stayed under on this margin in 7-of-10 games in the pre-season, and they went over it against the fast Russia and Hungary, and in an unusual match against Great Britain where there rotated a lot and the result varied vastly. That's normal for friendly matches. This today, though, is a competitive match where Netherlands have to rely on their defense, and against an opponent they like. Austria don't like to rush things, either, and their team is similar to the Dutch. The only difference is the center Mahalbašić who only gives weight to this bet. Austria play with him a lot, and that slows their game down. Schreiner is an experienced point guard who doesn't like rushing, either. Austria played towards a bigger number of points in the pre-season, but they had fast opponents, like Slovenia or slovakia, so that's not that relevant. They'll face a tough and slow opponent today, who can stop Mahalbašić, and all of that combined means this game will stay under the margin.
