Germany vs France Prediction & Picks - Olympic Matches Women

Prediction published on 8/7/24, 8:21 AM  by Tyler Doty in Basketball Picks

Join us at the Accor Arena for a new duel between France and Germany in these Olympic Games. The two nations had exactly the same record in the group phase, with 2 wins and 1 defeat. However, France still finished in first place, unlike the Germans who finished behind Team USA... as expected! Both teams were quite impressive in their opening matches. Indeed, the Mannschaft began with a fairly comfortable 83-69 win over Belgium, the reigning European champions. Germany followed this up with a victory over the Japanese (75-64), before losing quite logically to the Americans (68-87). The Germans weren't necessarily expected to perform at this level, but were impressive, buoyed by an incredible Satou Sabally. The WNBA player averaged over 21 points in her first 3 games. Les Bleues have been warned and will have to do their utmost to limit her offensive contribution... The French have had an excellent first round despite losing their last game to Australia (72-79). First place in the standings is essential. Now, Les Bleues have no room for error and will be aiming to reach the final to (almost certainly) meet Team USA. We'll have to take one match at a time, and the first step will be against Germany. This match should be absolutely magnificent, with a crazy atmosphere, as has been the case since the start of the tournament.
