Germany vs Montenegro Prediction: Hosts are favorites, but you never know what to expect

Germany claim to be the discovery of this tournament, but today's opponents brought quite an interesting lineup. Though, without Nikola Vucevic, they will not let go a chance to win that easily.

The tournament hosts allowed themselves to stumble only once. Although they were predicted to advance from the group, but not from the second place.

Three wins in a row, including against the French and Lithuanians. The home team only lost a match against the defending champions, but it is worth remembering that Slovenia wanted revenge. After all, Germany had beaten them in the World Cup qualifying, completely dominating the entire match.

The hosts have been spared the problem of injuries, and Schröder still does not fall to playing alone, but tries to give the maximum to the team as the number one and, of course, Franz Wagner, who is opening up more and more brightly in this championship. Both are among the top five scorers among EuroBasket defenders, Schröder is also No. 8 scorer in the tournament. Add to that their well-coordinated play and third best EuroBasket offense, and you have reason to rank them as a favorite.

Dubljevic, Simonovic, and Perry are the names that now represent, for many, Montenegro's game and result in this tournament. For many, Nikola Vucevic's failure to arrive immediately put in doubt whether they could even contend for a place in the group. And the loss in the first match against the Turks left a very pleasant impression on the game, but the result could not please.

And the next two wins in a row, immediately reinforced the impression that this team should definitely go further. And in the end, although with another defeat from the Spaniards, the final victory over Georgia allowed to take the 3rd line and today tested both their spirit and character of the Montenegrins.

Bojan Dubljevic and Vladimir Mihailovic are among the best in terms of offense at the tournament. Kendrick Perry is also the tournament's top player in steals as well as an assistant on the fifth line, so there's plenty of trump cards up Montenegro's sleeve.

Germany is the clear favorite in this match according to the bookmakers. By all accounts, it's hard to argue with that. But what we have in store for this match is a good fight. The teams had two days of rest, and it is quite possible for all the leaders to recover, and therefore it is worth looking at the plus handicap on Montenegro and the total of Germany, so we suggest betting on the following options:

• H2 (+12.0) for 1.80;
• Total Over (160.5) for 2.12;
• W1 by 6-10 Points for 5.30.
