Germany vs Japan Prediction & Betting Tips - Men's Olympic Tournament
by Kennedy Kechula | in Men's Olympic Tournament Predictions
Germany begin their Men’s Basketball campaign at this year’s Olympic Games in Paris against Japan in Group B. Let’s look at the stats leading to our prediction for the match.
Germany are making a second successive Olympics appearance. As the reigning FIBA World Cup champions, they are huge favourites to at the very least qualify for the knockout rounds. Die Mannschaft have won 11 of their last 14 fixtures with one being a dominant 104-83 victory over Japan.
That was in a build-up match that extended their run in this fixture to two successive victories. Germany, who lost 92-88 to the USA in their last friendly, have a squad that largely comprises NBA and EuroLeague players. They will be led by Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder who is one of four NBA players on the team.
Japan are playing in successive Olympic tournaments for the first time in almost 50 years. Coached by Thomas Hovasse, they qualified for this year’s tournament via their performance at the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
Japan did not win a single game at their last two Olympic appearances and are on an eight-game losing run in this tournament. As hosts in the 2020 edition, they lost all their group fixtures. Chances of that being the case again are high, given their recent struggles.
Akatsuki Japan have lost eight of their last 12 fixtures and are on a three-match losing run. After their loss to Germany, Japan allowed more than 100 points yet again, this time to Serbia who defeated them 119-100.
The team largely comprises players playing in Japan. Two in the 12-man roster - Rui Hachimura and Keisei Tominaga - play in the NBA.

Our Germany vs Japan Prediction
Our prediction for Germany v Japan is for the match to see over 172.0 points scored. Germany humbled Japan in a build-up game a week ago, winning by 21 points. They tallied 104 points and it was the third successive game in which they had scored at least 88 points.
Germany are a strong offensive team. Japan, on the other hand, have been poor in defence and allowed at least 100 points in each of their last two fixtures. With Germany a big favourite, we should expect a dominant start from them here, hence our prediction of a high-scoring affair.
