Germany will look to bolster their chances of qualifying from Group B of the 2025 EuroBasket even when they clash with Sweden on Friday morning. The Germans will come into this event in a good mood after their spectacular triumph during the 2023 World Championship. They are the second betting favorites to win the 2025 EuroBasket behind Sweden. Germany is now a real force in international basketball, and it will be unsurprising to see them make the final four in this event.
Sweden, meanwhile, will come into this event with some experienced veterans who helped them qualify for the EuroBasket over the last five years. Viktor Gaddefors and Ludvig Hakanson will provide experienced hands as the rest of the roster make their senior championship debut. They are relying on their mix of experience and youthful energy to impress in Tampere. Stunning the Germans could send a strong message to their rivals in this competition.

Our Sweden vs Germany Prediction
The Germans are the heavy betting favorites in this matchup. They have enjoyed great results in their recent meetings with Sweden, and we expect them to make it nine wins out of a possible 10. The Germans haven’t lost to Sweden since their clash at the 2012 EuroBasket qualification. Their team roster has many talented names, including Franz Wagner of Orlando Magic and his teammate in the NBA, Tristan da Silva. However, they’ll be without Real Madrid’s point guard, David Kramer, who is injured. Still, they should easily sweep aside the Swedes on Matchday 2 in Group B.
Our prediction for Germany vs Sweden: German to cover -19.5 spread.
