France - Germany Betting Tip:
Germany were not supposed to still be here. This is only their second World Cup appearance, they had never reached a quarter-final before this tournament, and they got to the last four by knocking out Belgium, the reigning EuroBasket champions. Four wins in a row now, a packed Berlin Arena behind them, and a squad that keeps playing above where it was seeded.
France are the stronger team and deserve to be favourites. They eased past China 90-61 in the quarter-finals and have reached the top four for the first time since 1953, so there is real history riding on this for them as well. The complication is the number. Thirteen points is exactly the margin France won by when these two met in the Paris Olympics quarter-final, 84-71, and that was on a neutral floor.
Give the hosts that same number now, with the crowd, the momentum and none of the pressure, and it looks generous. Germany do not need to win for this to land. They need to keep it within thirteen, and a host nation on a four game run inside its own arena tends to manage at least that much.
