Where to watch Germany vs Sweden: Stream and Preview the Game with Courtside 1891

• → Game to take place at Tampere Deck Arena, Finland on Friday, August 29 at 13:30 EEST (11:30 BST).
• → Germany are 1–0 after a 106–76 dismantling of Montenegro, keyed by a 33–12 third quarter and Dennis Schröder’s control of the pace.
• → Sweden are 0–1 after a spirited 90–93 derby loss to Finland, with Ludvig Håkanson dropping 28 (6/8 from deep) opposite Lauri Markkanen’s 28.

Germany vs Sweden - Schröder & co look to get consecutive wins in Finland

There’s recent bite here. Last November’s Qualifiers delivered a split: Sweden edged Germany 73–72 in Stockholm—with Chris Czerapowicz icing it late despite David Kramer’s 43—before Germany answered three days later with an 80–61 reset at home. That mini-series frames the contrast: Sweden’s green-light confidence versus Germany’s well-oiled, controlled and merciless basketball machine.

Germany — metronome pace, mismatches in waves

Expect the same rhythm that flattened Montenegro: guards push into 5-out, the ball finds the second action, and shooters arrive on the hop. When Germany win the middle eight minutes around halftime—as they did with that 33–12 third—they turn games into sprints to the finish. Schröder’s tempo, Franz Wagner’s downhill creation and Andreas Obst’s trail threes give them three different entry points to an advantage.

Sweden - P&R compass, fearless wings

Håkanson steers with angle changes and re-screens; when the short roll is clean, Sweden flatten help and spray to corners. They lived with Finland for 40 yesterday on shot quality and poise; the task now is to keep the floor wide, protect the glass by committee, and let hot hands (Håkanson, Gaddefors) stretch Germany’s shell. 

Levers that swing this one

• Screen geography & tags: Germany must show on Håkanson without gifting corner threes; Sweden want the pop + skip on time.

• Middle-eight control: Germany’s surge window is around halftime; Sweden need “stop-score-stop” runs to blunt it.

• Defensive rebounding → runway: If Germany’s wings finish possessions, their hit-ahead game turns quickly; if Sweden survive the glass, they can trade above-the-break 3s for 2s.

• Foul arithmetic at the 5: Early deep seals can force Sweden’s bigs into help-and-recover purgatory; Sweden counter by pulling the 5 into space.

• Close-time DNA: Sweden have already thrived in one-possession chaos (Stockholm ‘24 and vs Finland); Germany’s antidote is separation before the final three minutes.

Stakes

Germany can bank a 2–0 start and keep the group on their rails. For Sweden, nicking this puts yesterday’s narrow loss in the rear-view and reopens a last-16 path built on pace, spacing and shot discipline.
