France vs Germany Predictions 


France looked amazing in their quarterfinal match against a serious medal contender Canada. Germany struggled in the first half against Greece, so I see good value in backing the tournament hosts to win today. 
  • France vs Germany Predictions 
  • France Form 
  • Germany Form 

  • France have won 3 of their last 4 matches. 

France Form 


After losing their last four pre-tournament friendlies, hosts France failed to impress in the first phase, earning two wins and suffering one defeat.  

They were victorious in the opening match against Brazil 78-66, Nicolas Batum making a great contribution with 19 points, five rebounds and two assists.  

Les Bleus pulled a miraculous comeback and won against underdog Japan 94-90 in overtime in the second round, but then got easily outplayed by the world champions Germany 85-71. 

France were tagged underdogs in the quarterfinals against Canada, but stormed past the opposition 82-73, Guerschon Yabusele dominating the floor with 22 points, five rebounds and one assist. 

Germany Form 


Germany wrapped up the Olympics group phase by winning all three games. They started the tournament with a convincing 97-77 victory against Japan.  

World champions were not properly challenged by Brazil in the second round, earning an 86-73 victory, Dennis Schroeder topping the charts with 20 points, three rebounds and six assists.  

Germans made it three in a row in the third round against the tournament hosts France 85-71, Schroeder again being the man of the match with 26 points, nine assists and four rebounds. 

The first half against Greece in the quarterfinal was tied at 36-36, but Germany improved their numbers later to beat Giannis and co 76-63. 

Verdict

France got their confidence up after eliminating Canada in the quarterfinals, while Germany struggled in the first half against Greece. With the help of home crowd, I feel Les Bleus can cause another upset.
