Germany Team News
Germany finished the first stage with all three victories. They were better than Japan, Australia, and Finland and won first place in a dominant way.
Dennis Schroder was by far the best in the whole team. He played his best game when it was most needed. In the battle for the top spot in Group E, the point guard shined with 30 points against Australia, shooting 5/9 for three. However, the maximum score would not have happened if Schroder did not have the support of his teammates. We return again to the example of Australia, when Maodo Lo scored 20 points, or when Moritz Wagner scored 25 against Japan, while against Finland, four other players besides the Toronto Raptors player were in double figures. Fact that Herbert’s team was without Franz Wagner, one of the most important players in the team, in the last two games, shows that Germany can do even better. When in such a situation a team from a difficult group comes out with 3-0, it is bad news for the rivals.
When the first three games are taken into account, the first conclusion is that against better teams, Germany needs a top game from Schroder, with a lot of support from the rest of the team. Another conclusion is that Schroder doesn’t have to play spectacularly against weaker teams, if the rest of the team is up to par, as was the case against Finland. In the first round of the next phase, Herbert’s team expects a duel against a team belonging to the second group, which will be a good opportunity to take a step towards the elimination phase.
Georgia Team News
Georgia completed the first phase in line with expectations. In second place in Group F, with two wins and one loss.
Tornike Shengelia was the dominant factor in the decisive match for passage to the newly formed group. With 25 points, he was the central figure of the game against Venezuela and thus corrected the bad edition he had against Slovenia. He scored nine points but had to leave the game early due to his fifth personal foul. It cannot be said that anyone in the Georgian team was constant. Sometimes Shengelia would jump out, sometimes Duda Sanadze, another time Goga Bitadze, and sometimes Sandro Mamukelashvili. Something like that was enough for two wins against weaker rivals, but far from enough to be competitive against Slovenia.
In the new group, which is their maximum in this tournament, they will compete against teams that are even better than Luka Doncic and his teammates. Given that Ilias Zouros’ team lost to Slovenia by 19 points, this cannot inspire confidence before the World Cup continues.

Germany vs Georgia H2H
These two teams have met four times so far. Germany won all four games.
Absences and Injuries
Germany started the championship without Maxi Kleber, due to a dispute with Schroder. Franz Wagner, who was injured in the first round, is a question mark before the next duel. Georgia has no injury problems.
Germany vs Georgia Prediction
Germany has scored an average of 89 points so far and played against Japan and indisposed Finland. It seems that Georgia can offer better resistance to its rival due to its aggressiveness. On the other hand, Zouros’ team scored more than 70 points only against Cape Verde, which clearly proves that they will look for victory on the other side of the floor.
Because of all this, we suggest that the total number of points in the game will be less than 167.
