After Slovenia's victory in 2017, who will succeed Luka Dončić and company on the European throne? 

How does EuroBasket 2022 work?

To bet on EuroBasket 2022, you must first understand how it works. Don't worry, it is very simple.

First of all, from the 1st to the 8th of September, a group phase is organised. Divided into four groups of six teams, the participating nations must then finish among the top four in their group in order to qualify for the Round of 16. During this first round, victories earn 2 points and defeats 1 point (0 point in case of forfeit).

In the second round, the sixteen qualified teams took part in the round of 16, in the form of single elimination matches. This leads to the quarter-finals, then the semi-finals, the bronze medal match and finally the grand final, which crowns the European champion team.

Tournament details

• The venue: Germany (Berlin, Cologne), Italy (Milan), Czech Republic (Prague) and Georgia (Tbilisi).

Our tips for betting on EuroBasket 2022

The format of the competition is now known. Let's focus now on what you might be interested in: the best tips for betting on this year's EuroBasket. Here are some of the keys that our basketball tipsters have given you in order to succeed with the different bookmakers. Your basketball predictions will probably never have been so close to the truth.

Observe the last series

First of all, you should obviously take the time to observe the form of the competing nations. Whether we are talking about the warm-up games or the last games played in the tournament, avoid betting on the success of a team that has lost several times. As straight-forword as it seems, many bettors have already made mistakes by betting only on the prestige of a national team.

Checking the form of key players

In the same spirit, and since individual performances always take precedence over collective performances in basketball, it is imperative to check the form of the star players of each nation. Even if they are better than their opponents on paper, a Slovenia without Luka Doncic or Goran Dragic will certainly not be the same. Therefore, it can be risky to predict their success, and it would be better to abstain. A reasoning that should be applied to each selection, regardless of the stage of the competition. Need more information on the key players of each nation? Do not hesitate to consult the FIBA's official website .

Take into account the absentees

Third big tip, consecutive to the previous one: take into account the absentees announced for the game. Whether we are talking about a star or a complementary player who usually comes in to give the 5 major players a break, the absence of a player is always worth noticing in basketball. So be sure to check the list of men unavailable for the game you want to bet on. This could be due to injury, suspension or simply the coach's choice.

Consider the stakes

This advice is particularly helpful in the final days of the group stage. If a team is assured of its place in the standings, for example, avoid betting too much on its success. The coach could effectively turn the team around, lowering the level of his team on the floor. If this is the case for the game you want to bet on, at least wait for the official line-up. This can give you an indication of the strategy adopted by both teams.

Consider the value of betting

Finally, to finish with these tips, never bet on EuroBasket if the odds for your bet don't look good. It would be a shame to take risks for nothing! Imagine if you want to bet on Great Britain beating Estonia and the odds are 2.00 (50% probability). It may be that you feel that isn't a good price as you believe the odds should be higher as you believe they have less than a 50% chance of success. If that is the case then you shouldn't place your bet. Apply this train of thought to all your EuroBasket predictions.

Statistics to know for your EuroBasket 2022 predictions

In order to predict the EuroBasket 2022 matches, you also need to know the important statistics of the competition. Here are the key figures according to our basketball experts, taken from the last edition of the European Championship of Nations.

The figure in the first column is the statistic for the entire tournament, while the figures in brackets are firstly for the group stage and secondly for the knockout stage (from the Round of 16 onwards). 

• Average points per match: 155.75 points (155.4pts / 157pts)
• Average point difference: 14.2 point difference (14.3pts / 13.5pts)
• Matches with +149.5 points: 69.7% (70% / 68.7%)
• Matches with +151.5 points: 59.2% (58.3% / 62.5%)
• Matches with +153.5 points: 51.3% (48.3% / 62.5%)
• Matches with +155.5 points: 47.4% (43.3% / 62.5%)
• Matches with +157.5 points: 43.4% (40% / 56.2%)
• Matches with +159.5 points: 39.4% (35% / 56.2%)
• Ties at the end of the game (overtime): 3.9% of games (5% / 0%)

You will note that during this EuroBasket 2022, the Over will be privileged from the eighth finals, and that it will be necessary to remain measured during the group phase. Beyond the Over 153.5, your chances of success will probably be less in the first round. So, focus on dry wins or player bets during the tournament (points, rebounds, assists). Our basketball specialists will regularly go for these markets.

Our prediction on the winner of the EuroBasket 2022

France are the current favourites to win EuroBasket 2022. They only finished third in their group but then had an 87-86 win over Turkey in the last 16, though they needed overtime to get that win. That extra period of time was also required when beating Italy 93-85 in the last eight. They now face Poland who are the outsiders of the four and surprisingly knocked out Slovenia in the quarter finals. Germany are the second favourites and take on Spain in the semi-finals.

Odds for the title

• France, odds of 1.50
• Germany, odds of 3.25
• Spain, odds of 4.75
• Poland, odds of 51.00
