On Friday, the decisive game between France and Germany will establish the winner of Group B in men's basketball at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Each one undefeated the first two games of pool play, both teams are strong contenders. However France's near miss on Tuesday against Japan — pulled into overtime by a Rui Hachimura ejection and a four-point play — places extra weight on this match-up.

As gold medal hopefuls, the French team can solidify their position by dominating Germany and securing Group B. Meanwhile, Germany is riding a wave of confidence with substantial victories over Japan and Brazil, and a triumphant run at last summer’s FIBA World Cup.


In the history of head-to-head matches, France and Germany have faced off 11 times, with the French team known as Les Blues winning seven times. However, in the 2022 European Championships group-stage game, Germany emerged victorious with a resounding 76-63 win over France. With such a mixed history, Friday's showdown promises to be an electrifying battle.

In international play, Dennis Schroder ranks as one of the top guards. In Tuesday's game against Brazil, he expertly commanded the game with 20 points, six assists, and steals while making 7 out of 13 shots. Compared to France, which lacks adequate depth in the guard position, Schroder is undoubtedly the superior player in this matchup.
