Germany against Greece : Head to Head (H2H)
13 Sep 2022 - EuroBasket
Germany - Greece: Form Analysis
Germany finished their group campaign with a perfect record. They won their three matches, scoring a combined group-high 268 points and allowing a combined 221 points. Gordon Herbert’s men have been in splendid form on both ends of the court.
Their combined points allowed in the group stages were the lowest by any team in the first round. They are also putting up 89.3 points a game which is a tally only bettered by two other teams. The reigning world champions are living up to their hype and will be eager to showcase their prowess once again here.
Germany began the tournament with a 97-77 win over Japan and then followed that up with an 86-73 success over Brazil. In their final group match, they earned another convincing victory against hosts France, winning 85-71. Die Mannschaft won 107-96 the last time they faced off with Greece which was in EuroBasket two years ago.
After a 16-year absence, Greece are back on the big stage and eyeing an upset.
Greece avoided elimination from the Summer Games in their final group match. Making a return to the Olympic stage to end a 16-year hiatus, they struggled and lost their first two matches. They were undone 86-79 by a star-studded Canada team on matchday one and then fell by an almost similar score line to Spain.
But on matchday three, they would figure it out and see off Australia in an intense battle. Vassilis Spanoulis’s men put up 77 points against an Australian team littered with NBA talent and won by six points. This ended a run of three defeats for the two-time EuroBasket champions.
Greece had been in splendid form in the first half of the year and won 11 straight games before their three-game skid. Now they will be hoping to maintain their dominance against Germany. The Beloved have won eight of the 12 matchups with Germany, one of their wins coming at the 2008 Olympics.

Our Germany vs Greece Prediction
Our prediction for Germany v Greece is for the match to see over 155.0 points scored. This is a knockout match and that already spices up what will be the 13th time these two nations battle. Germany have been impressive in Paris and are yet to lose a match.
Their 89.3 points per game record is the third-best tally of the Games. They are likely to put up such numbers given Greece’s defensive struggles. Greece have allowed over 70 points in each of their three matches. They, however, have done the same on the offensive end and are averaging over 70 points a contest. A high-scoring game should therefore be expected here.
