EuroBasket 2025 has been a tournament defined by underdogs — and none have captured that spirit more than Lassi Tuovi’s Finland, the ultimate surprise package. Their stunning 92–86 win over tournament favourites Serbia in the Round of 16 will live long in the memory, and their quarter-final triumph over Georgia made the fairytale even sweeter. But now comes their toughest test yet: do they have what it takes to overcome Germany and book their place in Sunday’s final?

On the other side of the court, you have Germany, who — alongside Türkiye — remain the only unbeaten side in the tournament. Die Mannschaft have been putting up historic numbers under Alex Mumbrú, and despite the head coach having to take a step back due to health issues, they have continued their immense form under assistant Alan Ibrahimagić. To boost their confidence even further, these two sides met in the group stage, with a Franz Wagner–inspired performance leading them to a 91–61 victory over Friday’s opponents.
Finland won’t be perturbed by that, though. Not only will they be backed by every neutral, but they will also have their star man, Lauri Markkanen. The Utah Jazz forward has put up some incredible numbers across the tournament, averaging 24.7 points per game on the way to the semi-final. They’ll need him to be fit and firing — and will hope that their aggressive defense can nullify anything the Germans throw at them.
