Germany is set to face Cyprus, whose defense struggled in their recent game, conceding 123 points to Croatia. Given Germany's strong position as group leaders and Cyprus's defensive issues, experts recommend betting on a high total score. The best wager is on over 160.5 points being scored by both teams combined. This matchup is expected to be especially fruitful for those seeking dynamic, high-scoring basketball action.

Match Preview 


Cyprus are among the weakest teams in the European qualifiers, losing all five games so far while allowing 483 points. Their chances of upsetting Germany are almost nonexistent. 

Germany Looking to Finish Strong 


Considering they couldn’t count on the Wagner brothers and a couple of other star players so far, Germany are doing great in the FIBA World Cup 2027 qualifiers, already clinching a spot in the next phase with a 4-1 record. 

After starting the campaign with two very dominant back-to-back victories against Israel 89-69 and Cyprus 83-64, the Germans couldn’t contain Croatia’s three-point shooting in the third round, which led to a 93-88 defeat. 

In the reverse tie played in Bonn a couple of days later, they pulled off a fourth-quarter comeback to force overtime and won this important encounter 91-89. Johannes Thiemann was unstoppable with 24 points and 12 rebounds, while Oscar Da Silva also recorded a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. 

On Friday, Germany had multiple ups and downs on a neutral court in Riga but ultimately edged Israel 92-86, with Dennis Schröder starring with 20 points and nine assists. 

Cyprus About to Wrap Disastrous Campaign


Cyprus remain one of the weakest basketball teams in Europe and have already lost every chance of qualifying for the 2027 FIBA World Cup in Qatar after losing all five matches. 

They stood no chance in the opening week in late November, getting crushed by Croatia 100-60 on the road and then Germany 83-64 at home, their best effort so far, while also losing to Israel 94-54 in the third round. 

The reverse tie against Israel brought nothing new, as they lost at home 83-54 while shooting just 32% from the field (6/29 from three-point range) and were outrebounded 48-32. 

On Friday, Cyprus suffered another heavy defeat against Croatia, losing 123-50 at home while shooting just 28% from the field.

Verdict

Cyprus allowed 123 points in their most recent clash against Croatia, and I don’t expect them to fare much better against group leaders Germany. Over 160.5 points is the best bet here.
