France will take on Georgia in the round of 16 at the 2025 EuroBasket Men’s championships. This is the first competitive meeting between these two nations, and the winner will play either Finland or Serbia next. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

France qualified for the knockout rounds after topping Group D. Frederic Fauthoux’s men won four of their five group matches. Their sole loss came on matchday three as they fell 82-69 to Israel.

France, who are star-studded with NBA and EuroLeague talent, are coming off a 40-point blowout victory over Iceland. European champions in 2013 for the first time, Les Bleus have produced a podium finish in four of the last five EuroBasket editions.

Georgia are seeking a top-three finish in this tournament for the first time. The Eastern European nation, competing on the continental stage for a sixth consecutive tournament, finished fourth in Group C.

They won just two of five games and edged defending champions Spain for the final qualifying spot by head-to-head advantage. Georgia, whose two wins have come against Spain and Cyprus, fell 84-76 to Bosnia and Herzegovina in their most recent match.

Aleksandar Dzikic’s men will rely heavily on NBA stars Goga Bitadze and Sandro Mamukelashvili to inspire them to an upset.
