Germany vs France Prediction

Germany is going to get the benefit of the doubt because it looked like the second-best team in the tournament. Germany is undefeated, has been great offensively, and it already beat France by 14 points less than a week ago. With that said, we’re now at the business end of the tournament, and we have yet to see Wembanyama and Gobert go absolutely crazy. This would be a spot where they shine bright, and we can’t ignore the home crowd in Paris. The people want to see a France – USA gold medal game in France. Germany is the better team, but the value is with France and the free buckets. That’s where I’ll lean in this semifinal on Thursday afternoon.
