Why Bet is Slovenia a safe bet?
Slovenia topped Group C and is now headed to the quarterfinals of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics men’s basketball. The team looks good with a healthy squad for their next game. Although Slovenia started their Olympic campaign as the dark horses of the tournament, they are making sure that this one is going to be remembered. They swept all of their preliminary round group games and now have the confidence and momentum coming into the next round.
The team took down European basketball giants Spain in their final Group C game, 95-87. We are likely to see Luka Doncic play guard alongside Jaka Blazic in the backcourt. The duo combined for 22 points and 11 assists in their last game. But it was Vlatko Cancar who did most of the damage in their last game, scoring 22 points on 8 of 12 shooting.
His efforts include another 2 rebounds and 1 assist to help his team advance to the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Zoran Dragic is expected to start the small forward position following a 6-point performance on 2- of-5 shooting with 3 assists and 2 rebounds to end his night against Spain.
Why Bet is Germany a safe bet?
The Germans were hanging by a thread on the group stage but eventually pulled themselves together to earn a spot in the quarterfinals. They finished as one of the two best third-place finishers, going 1-2 during the preliminary round, and sent home Nigeria in a thrilling 99-92 contest to secure their spot. But the team will try to bounce back after an 89-76 defeat against the Boomers. Nonetheless, they have the opportunity to make the necessary changes before heading out to their next game.
Germany boasts some NBA talents who can help put pressure on the Slovenians. All eyes are on Orlando Magic forward Mortiz Wagner and Washington Wizards big man Isaac Bonga. The two scored 6 points and 5 points in their last game, respectively, and are expected to lead the charge in the next game. Andreas Obst topped the scoring for his team in his last outing with 17 points and 1 assist, while Niels Giffey and Johannes Thiemann added 11 points each. Ultimately, the efficiency of German basketball combined with a competent roster gives the team respectable winning chances.

Slovenia vs. Germany Expert Betting Predictions
With everything on the line, the Germans hope to make this a close encounter for the Slovenians. Even though the latter are the clear favorites, there’s still hope for Henrik Rödl and his squad. The side features extremely effective players on the offensive and defensive sides, but a series of second-rate nights held the team back from a better group stage finish. If they keep the game close, there’s a good chance that Germany can cover the spread and even come up with a surprise win. But with the pace the Slovenians have at the moment, they could face several challenges along the way.
