Eurobasket Enters Final Stages, Semifinals Today

(Patria) - The national basketball teams of Germany and Finland, and Greece and Turkey, will play semifinal matches of the European Championship today.

Germany, the current world champion and the most serious contender for gold, has not suffered a defeat so far. Finland stands in their way – a team that has surprised the continent by eliminating Serbia and Georgia, thus achieving the greatest success in its history.

However, the Finns lost to Germany by a large margin of 30 points in the group stage, which speaks volumes about the difficult task ahead of them.

This match will be played at 4 PM.

The evening match brings a clash of regional rivals – Greece and Turkey.

The Greeks, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, appear unstoppable when their best player is on the court.

Their only failure in the championship is linked to the duel with Bosnia and Herzegovina, in which Giannis did not play.

Turkey has confirmed its status as the "dark horse" that was talked about before the start of the tournament.

However, coach Ergin Ataman faces a serious problem, which is the injury of Cedi Osman from the quarterfinals, and it will almost certainly keep him out of today's match, which could significantly weaken the Turkish side.

The duel between Greece and Turkey is scheduled for 8:00 PM.
