Free Tip - Poland vs. France – Basketball EM 2022

Details:

With world champions Spain and Olympic silver medalist France, two of the teams from the extended group of favorites are still there. In Germany, the hopes were high that, as hosts, they could make it into the medal round. The Final Four is completed sensationally with the team from Poland. For the first time since 1971, a Polish team is in a European Championship semi-final.

Missed World Cup, but EM semi-finals

Now this team is actually in the semi-finals of the EURO Basket. The record of 5:2 victories is quite impressive. In the group stage there were victories against Israel, Holland and the Czech Republic and expected defeats against Finland and Serbia. Just reaching the playoffs was already a success. It's amazing that it's still going on after that.

"It's incredible. We don't think so. The players have eggs like watermelons, hearts like the moon.”
Igor Milicic

In the round of 16 against Ukraine, the Poles were the big outsiders after losing to the Ukrainians several times recently. However, the Eagles delivered their best game in recent years in the quarter-finals, when they managed to dethrone the defending champions Slovenia with superstar Luka Doncic.

Igor Milicic's team was already leading by 58:39 at the break, but was then completely powerless in the third quarter, which went to the Slovenians with 6:24. In the last ten minutes, however, the Eagles pulled themselves together and finally won 90:87. Once again Mateusz Ponitka was the best scorer with 26 points. If the outsider performs like this on Friday, then the odds of a handicap win (+9.5) could be interesting for the Eagles in the duel between Poland and France.

Estimated formation of Poland:
Zyskowski, Balcerowski, Sokolowski, Cel, Slaughter, Ponitka, Kolenda, Dziewa, Olejniczak, Michalak, Garbacz, Schenk - Trainers: Milicic
