France vs. Georgia Preview and Prediction for Sept. 7 | 2025 EuroBasket, Round of 16

Sunday's EuroBasket 2025 slate of action will include a France vs. Georgia clash. During the group stage, France notably went 4-1 in Group D, beating out teams like Poland, Slovenia and Israel. While on the flip side, Georgia went just 2-3 in Group C, finishing behind teams such as Bosnia & Herzegovina, Italy and Greece.

However, Georgia managed to advance because of the scoring differential, continuing the country's Cinderella story. While Georgia is looking to continue their historic run, France is in pursuit of the country's first gold medal since 2013.

With the stakes at an all-time high for both teams, let's take a look at everything you need to know.

France vs. Georgia Preview

While France entered EuroBasket 2025 without some of the country's best players such as Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, or Evan Fournier, the team has continued to come up big when they need it most.

Led by young NBA standouts Zacharie Risacher & Alex Sarr, as well as vocal locker room leader Guerschon Yabusele, France finds themselves riding momentum in the knockout round.

On the flip side, although Georgia may lack some of the same firepower as teams like Germany, the country has rallied behind NBA standouts Goga Bitadze and Sandro Mamukelashvili throughout the group stage.

France vs. Georgia prediction

Heading into Sunday's clash, look for France to build on their momentum from the group stage. As previously mentioned, throughout their EuroBasket 2025 campaign, France has looked dominant despite the absence of key players.

With plenty of momentum on their side, and the country eager to bounce back from missing out on a gold medal at the Paris Olympics, expect Team France to come out with a bang and get the job done.
