Germany and Serbia meet Saturday in the 2024 Men’s Basketball Summer Olympics bronze medal game at the Accor Arena. Here’s a Germany vs Serbia Prediction. This article will include a Germany vs Serbia Pick.

Germany Betting Preview

Germany has a chance to win its first ever Olympic medal in men's basketball and is fresh off a loss to France. Germany is averaging 87 points on 47.9 percent shooting and allowing 71 points on 42.5 percent shooting. Franz Wagner is averaging 18.6 points and 5.2 rebounds, while Dennis Schroder is averaging 18 points and 7.8 assists. Isaac Bonga is dishing 1.2 assists and Daniel Theis is grabbing 8 rebounds. Germany is shooting 34.7 percent from beyond the arc and 83.8 percent from the free throw line. Germany is allowing 34.9 percent shooting from deep and is grabbing 34.6 rebounds per game.

Serbia Betting Preview

Serbia looks to win its first men's basketball Olympic medal since 2016. Serbia is averaging 94.4 points on 50 percent shooting and allowing 89.2 points on 41 percent shooting. Nikola Jokic is averaging 18.8 points and 10.4 rebounds, while Bogdan Bogdanovic is averaging 18.8 points and 4 assists. Vasilije Micic is the third double-digit scorer and Filip Petrusev is grabbing 5 rebounds. Serbia is shooting 34 percent from beyond the arc and 76.7 percent from the free throw line. Serbia is allowing 34.9 percent shooting from deep and is grabbing 40.2 rebounds per game.

Germany vs Serbia Prediction

We could easily see Germany or Serbia come out flat in this spot, as they're both coming off heartbreaking losses. Germany was a comfortable favorite against France and just fell apart in the second half. Serbia blew a double-digit fourth quarter lead to the US, blowing what would have been one of the biggest upsets in Olympic basketball history. Which team is motivated to get up for a chance to win bronze? I will say Serbia is the more talented team with the best player in Jokic and Bogdanovic has been out of his mind. Also, Serbia should be motivated after losing a close one to Germany in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup final. We're only laying a bucket. I'll side with Serbia.
