Israel takes on France on Sunday, August 31, at the Spodek Arena in Poland.
France owns the head-to-head advantage over Israel, 6-2. But their last game was way back in 2015, when France soundly defeated Israel, 86-61.
Still, the French are very much the favorites in this game. They've won their first two games, defeating Belgium and Slovenia. Thanks to the heroics of Sylvain Francisco, they defeated Luka Doncic and Slovenia, 103-95. Francisco produced 32 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals, including an immaculate 12-12 trip to the free throw line.
Moreover, four other French players scored in double digits. Elie Okobo contributed 14 points, Bilal Coulibaly had 13, and Zaccharie Risacher and Alexandre Sarr both put up 12 markers.
On the flip side, Israel is coming off a painful 66-64 loss to Poland. Trailing by 11 points in the first two quarters, Israel put up a 25-11 run in the third quarter to take the lead. But they lost steam towards the end, with Poland's Jordan Loyd finishing with a game-high 29 markers.
Deni Avdija led Israel with 23 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. The other Israeli player who scored in double digits is Tomer Ginat, as he finished with 10 points in 32 minutes of play.

Our Israel vs France Prediction
Deni Avdija and Israel fell short of a comeback in the second half when they lost to Poland by only two points. Despite the painful loss, it's still a testament to the talent and chemistry that this Israeli team has.
However, they'll be going up against a tough French team that has won its first two games in this year's EuroBasket. France should be the favorites in this match. Our prediction for the Israel vs France match is: France (-14.5) cover the spread.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
