France Betting Preview

The France men’s basketball team has been tested so far in the tournament, but they do come into this game with a 2-0 record. In the first game they were able to beat Brazil 78-66 and in the last game against Japan they were able to win 94-90. It took overtime against Japan, but they were able to come away with the victory. Victor Wembanyama was the top player against Japan, putting up 18 points while grabbing 11 rebounds. Evan Fournier also put up 14 points, six assists, and four rebounds. As a team, France shot 42.5 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from the field. France hit only 11 of the 17 shots from the free throw line, and that isn’t good enough to get the job done. 

Germany Betting Preview

Germany has gotten out to a fast start to the Olympics, and they come into this game with a 2-0 record. In the first game of the Olympics, they were able to beat Japan 97-77. In the last game against Brazil it was much of the same as Germany was able to secure the 86-77 victory. Germany got out to a 22-10 start, and they ended up cruising. Dennis Schroder put up 20 points, six assists, and three rebounds. There were three starters that put up at least 14 points. Isaac Bonga came off the bench, and he put up 15 points while hitting 3 of his 4 shots from deep. Germany shot 50 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from behind the three point line. 

France vs Germany Prediction

France is going to have the home court advantage here, but that isn’t going to be enough to overcome the talent of Germany. Germany is such a balanced team, and they are going to have no issue getting the job done here. France’s defense struggled against Japan, and it’s going to be even worse here. Germany is going to pull away, and France won’t be keeping up. Back Germany against the spread.
