Germany vs Korea Republic prediction
Germany endured a slow start to life in Group A, losing heavily to a strong Spain team. But the host nation fought back and have gotten more and more comfortable in their surroundings as the tournament has gone in. They’ve also responded with much better performances since that opening round, beating both Japan and Mali, whilst restricting both opponents to less than 60 points.
Such defensive prowess will be key to their success here, as Korea Republic look to arrest their recent slump before it’s too late. Since putting up 99 points against Nigeria, they have failed to hit the same heights since, losing to both France and Hungary. Another European nation in Germany, will be confident of extending their struggles.
Whilst form can go out of the window when it comes to knockout basketball, Germany are simply playing much better than Korea Republic right now. Their defence has been great and Portland Fire star Frieda Buhner is nailing her shots right now. This makes backing Germany to win and advance the way to go.
Germany vs Korea Republic tip: Germany to win with -10.5 point spread
