Germany vs. Slovenia Preview

Germany has proven why it holds the FIBA World Champion title. It started strong by winning five of its six preparatory games and then went undefeated with a 5-0 run in the group stage. Along the way, Germany overpowered teams like Lithuania, Finland, Sweden, Montenegro and Great Britain, winning by a differential of 32.8 points per game.

Its Round of 16 game was no different, as Alex Mumbru’s squad dominated Portugal. With Dennis Schroder and Franz Wagner combining for 32 points, Germany cruised to an 85-58 victory.

Slovenia’s journey has been quite different. It stumbled out of the gate with a tough 1-5 record in its warm-up games, but the setbacks didn’t break their spirit. Led by Luka Doncic, they managed to go 3-2 in the group stage, picking up wins over Belgium, Iceland and Israel to secure the third spot in Group D.

Doncic delivered with a masterclass on Sunday in the Round of 16. He carried his team past Italy with 42 points and 10 rebounds, leading Slovenia to an 84-77 win.

Germany vs. Slovenia Prediction

Slovenia has relied heavily on Luka Doncic throughout the tournament, with the LA Lakers guard putting up 34.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 3.2 steals per game. However, the challenge is that Germany has too much depth and firepower, with a lot more NBA-level experience in its lineup. Doncic will also likely be a bit worn down, making it tough for him to carry Slovenia to another win against the reigning world champions.

Prediction: Expect Germany to win and secure a berth in the semifinals.
