Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 Olympics basketball match.
France
Since France made it to the play-off, they can finally play more freely now. Even in a slow game French players are good enough to score a lot of points. In the last game against Japan (94:90) France scored 32 points in the first quarter, breaking their own Olympic record from 2016.
Germany
Germany’s offense is really good, they have a balanced attack where everyone is in the right position. In the last game against Brazil (86:73) four players scored 14 and more points. Only a few teams in this tournament can show such a great offense.
Prediction
This game isn’t important for both teams in terms of making it to the next round, so it should be a little more relaxed. I think it will be a high-scoring game with a lot of points from Victor Wembanyama and Franz Wagner.
