In the semifinal of the Olympic basketball tournament, France will face Germany. The Germans have already defeated the French in the group stage, which works in their favor. Germany has a strong roster, having overcome a wide field of opponents. France is also a worthy team, but the Germans have shown themselves to be more dominant. Therefore, a bet on Germany to win with a handicap of -4.5 seems reasonable and promising.
The German team is stronger than France both as a team and individually. The Germans have already defeated the French in the group stage. France may be feeling the pressure in the knockout stage. Germany is generally performing more confidently in the tournament, and the team is well-coordinated and geared towards victory. Therefore, I am betting on a win for Germany against France.
