Winner prediction: who will win Eurobasket 2025?
As the summer draws to a close and we await the resumption of NBA action between late August and mid-September, our basketball predictions will be in the spotlight thanks to Eurobasket 2025! A tournament eagerly awaited not only by fans of the sport, but also by many punters.
At the last edition, it was Spain who won the trophy so eagerly awaited by many nations, making them the third most successful nation with 4 trophies behind Serbia (8) and Russia (15). La Roja defeated Les Bleus in the final in Berlin, winning a well-deserved title.
This year, suspense is likely to run high right up to the final seconds! And, as for the big favorite, the bookmakers have made their choice with Serbia, led by the excellent Nikola Jokic. Our experts concur with this opinion, although they believe that we shouldn't underestimate the Germany of Dennis Schröder and Franz Wagner, the Greece of Giánnis Antetokoúnmpo or the Slovenia of Luka Dončić.
France, meanwhile, will be without Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, Evan Fournier and Mathias Lessort. While Les Bleus retain an interesting squad, we feel that it remains too small to go all the way, and that the odds offered by sports betting sites are too low to be worth it.
As you can see, we'd advise you to take a chance on Serbia, who have never won this title since they were first called Yugoslavia.
The Joker Nikola Jokic, one of the best players in the world, will obviously want to show what he can do and bring the trophy back home. Our prediction for the winner of Eurobasket 2025: victory for Serbia!

Beginners Guide - How does EuroBasket 2025 work?
If you want to bet on the Eurobasket in the best possible way, it is of course very important to understand the format of the competition and how it works. And it's very simple to understand!
The European Basketball Championship is divided into two distinct phases. The first, known as the group stage, sees the participating nations play in 4 groups of 6. This is played from 27 August to 4 September, with each country playing its 5 opponents once. At the end, the top 4 in each group qualify for the next round. The bottom two are eliminated.
Now it's time for the second round, often referred to as the knockout phase. This takes place from 6 to 14 September, starting with the last 16. Then come the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and, finally, the grand final and the match for third place in Riga, Latvia. All the finals are played there.
How to make the best EuroBasket 2025 match predictions?
To maximise your chances of success with your EuroBasket predictions, there are a few good habits to bear in mind and employ throughout the tournament. We've listed the most important ones below.
These are all, of course, applied by our experts with the aim of providing you with analyses and predictions of the European Basketball Championship matches that are as close to the truth as possible.
- Observe the latest series
- Check the form of the key players for this EuroBasket
- Take account of absentees
- Take account of what is at stake in the EuroBasket matches
- Consider the value of betting
If you include these major aspects in your betting habits before placing a bet on EuroBasket 2025, you will obviously be doing everything you can to maximise your winnings throughout the competition. We'll go into more detail on each of these points below.
Watch the latest series
First of all, of course, take the time to look at the form of the competing nations. Whether we're talking about warm-up matches or the last games played in the tournament, avoid betting on the success of a team that is coming off several defeats.
It seems logical, but many punters have already made the mistake of betting solely on a nation's prestige. It's a mistake we see all too often, and we thought it important to issue a reminder for this EuroBasket 2025! To keep track of the teams' results, take a look at our Livescore of the EuroBasket live matches.
Check the form of key players
In the same spirit, and since individual performances very often take precedence over collective performances in basketball, it's essential to check the form of each nation's star players. Even if they are better than their opponents on paper, a Slovenia without Luka Dončić will certainly not be the same on the floor.
Consequently, it would be risky to predict their success, and it would be better to abstain. This reasoning should be applied to every selection, regardless of the stage of the competition. Need more information on the key players from each nation? Don't hesitate to visit the official FIBA website.
Take account of absentees
The third key piece of advice, following on from the previous one, is to take into account the absentees announced for the match. Whether we're talking about a star player or a back-up player who usually comes in to give the big 5 a break, the absence of a player is never insignificant in basketball.
So be sure to check the list of men unavailable for the game you want to bet on. This could be due to injury, suspension or simply coach's choice.
Consider the stakes
This advice is particularly true in the final matches of the group stage. If a team is assured of its place in the standings, for example, avoid betting too much on its success. The coach could effectively turn the team around, thereby lowering the team's level on the floor.
If this scenario applies to the match you want to bet on, at least wait for the official line-ups. This will give you an indication of the strategy adopted by the two staffs.
Consider the value of betting
Finally, to finish with this advice, never bet on a match in the tournament if the EuroBasket odds for your bet don't look good. It would be a shame to take risks for nothing! Let's say you want to bet on Great Britain beating Serbia, but your bookmaker only offers odds of 2.00 (i.e. a 50% chance).
In this particular case, it would be a shame to convert your prediction into a bet, as the potential winnings would not be worth the risk. With Great Britain certainly having less than a 50% chance of winning against the favourites for the title, you would be risking a lot for very little. Apply this reasoning to every EuroBasket prediction you make!
What not to do when betting on the European Basketball Championship 2025 with a bookmaker
While there are some good practices to bear in mind (which we have just touched on), there are also some bad betting behaviours and “pitfalls” to avoid when placing your bets.
In our opinion, these are the main ones:
- Betting without analysing the match in question in depth
- Betting only on the low odds of the favourites
- Combining a lot of small and/or medium odds
- Multiplying live bets
- Betting on a country solely because of its reputation
- Playing directly after losing bets "to make up for it"
- Minimising the importance of the major players in each nation
If you banish these few bad practices when betting on EuroBasket, you'll give yourself a better chance of placing as many bets as possible. Of course, no winnings are guaranteed with sports betting, but it's still better to put all the odds on your side!
EuroBasket 2025: statistics you need to know
One last point, and certainly one of the most important, to bear in mind before betting on EuroBasket 2025: take an interest in the tournament stats and factor them into your bets. In basketball, but also in any other discipline, figures are of vital importance and you mustn't forget them!
We have listed the most important stats to make it easier for you to place your EuroBasket bets. These were taken from the last edition (2022):
- Average points per match in the 1st round: 163 points
- Average points per match in the final table: 176 points
- Average points per match over the tournament: 166 points
- Average points spread in the 1st round: 13.3 points spread
- Average points spread in the final table: 10.5 points spread
- Average points spread over the tournament: 12.7 points spread
- Matches with overtime in the final table: 19%
- +152.5 points: 71% of matches
- +157.5 points: 59% of matches
- +162.5 points: 55% of matches
- +167.5 points: 47% of matches
- +172.5 points: 36% of matches
- +177.5 points: 24% of matches
For this 2025 edition of EuroBasket, some bets seem to be to be preferred to the detriment of others. For example, Over 162.5 points and Under 167.5 points are much more likely to be validated if last year's figures are anything to go by.
In short: how to correctly predict EuroBasket 2025 and the matches to be played?
EuroBasket 2025 is still eagerly awaited by fans of the orange ball, and you can look forward to it this summer.
