Germany vs Spain Prediction: Germans are unstoppable at home tournament

The hosts of the EuroBasket 2022 playoffs, Germany will face Spain in the semifinals. Will the Germans reach the finals for the first time since 2005? Let's pick a few bets at once.

Gordon Herbert's team suffered only one defeat at this tournament, failing to cope with the Slovenian team in the group stage. Otherwise, the championship is going very well for Germany. The quarterfinal match against Greece where Germans literally crushed their powerful contender proved that. 107-96, plus 11 points, and during the fourth quarter the difference in the score exceeded 20 points.

As for Germany in the landmark game against the Greeks, one should mention the phenomenal Dennis Schroder – 26 points and 8 assists. As well as the big men, Franz Wagner, who scored 19 points, and Daniel Theis, who made life as difficult as possible for Greece's leader Giannis Antetokounmpo. Thуis had 13 points and 16 rebounds.

While Germany faced one of the favorites in the quarterfinals, Spain faced Finland. Yes, the Finns had a great EuroBasket, but they were no match for Giannis and others. Spain lost the first half, falling behind by 9 points, but made up for lost time in the second half, winning by a combined score of 100-90.

Separately for Spain in the quarterfinals, the Hernangomez brothers deserved special mention: Willy had 27 points and Juancho had 15. Lorenzo Brown contributed 11 assists. We should not forget about the unfading Rudy Fernandez. The 37-year-old veteran made 3 of 5 three-pointers in the most important moments of the game.

Spain has seven straight wins against Germany. The last time they met was in 2017, although they also met in the European Championship at the quarterfinals stage.

The German national team in this tournament, and especially in the match with Greece, demonstrated a simply sky-high level of basketball. It seems that the Spaniards will be unable to stop the Germans who are even more driven by the home fans. Sergio Scariolo has an excellent, balanced team, but it looks like they've reached their peak. In addition, the last time the EuroBasket was held in Germany, in Munich in 1993, it was Germany that took the title.

Prediction: Germans to qualify for the finals.
