Germany Team News
Germany played friendly game against Sweden a few days ago. They won as expected and especially crushed their rivals in the last quarter. In this way they confirmed the famous German mentality and giving the maximum until the last moment. Even if it was a friendly match.
Head coach Gordon Herbert gave the most minutes to NBA star Dennis Schroder. It is expected to be the same against Canada as much stronger team compared to Sweden. Brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner are also someone Germany can rely on. The assumption is that against the Canadian NBA stars, each of them will find an additional motive.
At the World Cup, Germany will play group stage matches against Australia, Finland and one of the organizers of Mundobasket, Japan. The so-called “group of death” in which there is no place for everyone to pass to the next stage. That’s why Schroder and his team need quality opponents in friendly games, which the clash against Canada certainly is.
Canada Team News
During the training camp, the Canadian national team assembled perhaps the strongest team in history. A big question mark remains as to who will be on the final 12-passenger list for Jakarta. After two weeks in the training camp, this will be their first friendly match.
Head coach Jordi Fernandez shortened the list of 18 names by four players. Kevin Pangos, Cory Joseph, Kassius Robertson and Oshae Brissett are no longer part of the team. It is clear that none of the national team members wants to be among the next two who will leave the camp next.
Canada with such a composition where the leaders of the team are NBA stars has high expectations. Especially basketball public around the world. It is important that they prove to themselves from the very beginning that there are ready for big things. Germany is a real opportunity to confirm that thesis.

Germany vs Canada H2H
It is interesting that Germany and Canada played only one duel in history. It was in China 2019 at the World Cup. Germany then took the win by 82:76.
Absences and Injuries
According to available information, Jamal Murray will not play for Canada. On the other side, Johannes Thiemann did not play the friendly match against Sweden few days ago and he is questionable.
Germany vs Canada Prediction
Canada with Murray on and off the court is not the same team. There are much higher chances that the member of the Denver Nuggets will not play. This is the first friendly game for Canada after 14 days in basketball camp. Thats two reasons beacuse we predict a tight win for Germany on the home floor.
