FRANCE VS GERMANY PREDICTION
The Pierre Mauroy Stadium in Lille was rocking as France edged past Japan in a memorable encounter, with Victor Wembanyama at the forefront of the French’s efforts. Wemby accounted for 18 points, whilst teammate Rudy Gobert boasted 15 rebound scores. The duo are establishing an excellent partnership across this tournament so far, but could find themselves with too much to do here, taking on a Germany squad with superior firepower on paper.
It’s the strength-in-depth which looks like being the difference here between the two teams. Germany can call upon more players with high-level experience and across the two rounds of fixtures so far, have not only accumulated more points, but conceded less than France. With this in mind, it’s well worth backing Germany to grab the win in this one.
