Montenegro vs Germany Preview

Germany will try to win another medal at a major tournament, and their first opponent on that path is Montenegro.

Will coach Mumbru’s team justify the role of favorites in the opening match, or can Montenegro cause a surprise?

Montenegro Form & Team News

This will be Montenegro’s fifth appearance at the European Championship. So far, their best result has been 13th place, achieved at the last two EuroBaskets.

They will try to achieve their best-ever result this time.

There is moderate optimism in the squad. They played several very good games in the preparation period, but it is still unclear which roster they will bring to the tournament.

Several key players from previous competitions, such as Nikola Ivanovic and Kendrick Perry, have withdrawn, and there are still some uncertainties.

It is confirmed that NBA star Nikola Vucevic will once again lead his national team, and it is very possible this could be the last tournament for the Chicago Bulls veteran.

Against teams like Sweden and Great Britain, Montenegro has a realistic chance of advancing to the next stage, but beyond that, the ceiling of this team is questionable.

Germany Form & Team News

Germany has been consistent with good results at recent tournaments. After winning bronze at the previous EuroBasket, gold at the World Cup, and finishing fourth at the Olympic Games, they are definitely among the main candidates for another medal at this tournament.

This group of players has been playing together for a long time with only minimal changes, and the biggest change is on the bench, where Spanish coach Alex Mumbru replaced Gordie Herbert.

Scoring and playmaking will be led by the two biggest stars and NBA players, Dennis Schroder and Franz Wagner. Andreas Obst will remain a constant perimeter threat, while Daniel Theis and the experienced Johannes Thiemann will handle most of the work inside the paint.

Isaac Bonga will take on the dirty work on defense while also providing reliable corner shooting from three, and there is also Orlando Magic’s Tristan Da Silva, making his debut at a major tournament.

Germany is the absolute favorite to win first place in the group, and anything else would be a major surprise.

These two teams met in the round of 16 at the previous EuroBasket, when Germany won 85:79. The top performer for the winning team was Dennis Schroder with 22 points and 8 assists

Verdict

Montenegro v Germany

Germany is expected to deliver another excellent tournament. This squad has played together for a long time and does not need much time to build chemistry.

Alex Mumbru will base his work on the style of play that former coach Gordie Herbert established, and at the start of the tournament, I expect a very efficient game from the reigning world champions. They will punish every defensive lapse from their opponents.

Germany over 87.5
