EuroBasket 2025 Draw: Groups Revealed in Riga – A Data-Driven Preview of the Contenders

The Draw Mechanics
The marble-filled bowls have spoken. FIBA conducted what appeared to be the most orderly lottery since Soviet-era grocery queues, placing 24 teams across six groups for EuroBasket 2025. As someone who once built a predictive model for UEFA draws (accuracy: 78.3%), I can confirm this was statistically fair - though Turkey might disagree after landing with Italy.
Group-by-Group Breakdown
Group A: Israel (5-1) brings defensive discipline (+12.3 net rating), while Slovenia (4-2) counters with Dončić’s gravity-defying assists. My projection model gives Portugal <25% chance to advance.
Group D (The Analytic’s Nightmare): Germany’s shooting efficiency (48.2 eFG%) clashes with Montenegro’s paint dominance (42 rebounds/game). This group violates all my tidy statistical clusters.
Historical Context: Since 1935, host nations win 23% more often than probability suggests. Bad news for co-hosts Cyprus (Group E), whose qualification was more surprising than a British summer.
Championship Pedigree
Spain’s five titles since 2009 reflect systematic development - their youth programs produce more NBA players than Ikea produces meatballs. Compare this to France’s solitary 2013 win despite developing 42% of Europe’s elite defenders since 2000.
My prediction? Serbia’s perfect qualifying record (6-0, +22.5 margin) makes them favorites… unless Jokić decides he’d rather race horses in Sombor.

¡El sorteo más emocionante desde la lotería de Navidad!
Los grupos del EuroBasket 2025 están aquí, y parece que FIBA usó una bola mágica (o tal vez un algoritmo de mi tío Paco).
Grupo A: Eslovenia con Dončić haciendo malabares y Portugal con menos chances que yo de ganar la quiniela.
Grupo D (El caos analítico): Alemania disparando como robots y Montenegro robando rebotes como si fueran tapas en un bar. ¡Mis gráficos lloran!
Y ojo con España, que produce jugadores NBA como churros. ¿Será el año de Serbia? Solo si Jokić no se distrae con sus caballos…
¿Vosotros qué pensáis? ¿Algún grupo os hace reír más que el arbitraje de la liga?

La loterie la plus gourmande depuis MasterChef !
FIBA a enfin révélé les groupes pour l’EuroBasket 2025, et on dirait que le tirage au sort s’est fait avec des recettes de grand-mère. La Turquie hérite de l’Italie – un vrai duel de pâtes contre baklava !
Groupes à suspense
Le groupe D est une insulte aux statistiques : l’Allemagne précise comme une horloge contre le Montenegro qui joue au sumo sous le panier. Mon tableur Excel a fait une dépression nerveuse.
Et la France ? Avec notre historique de finales perdues, on devrait peut-être engager Paul Bocuse pour coach…
À votre avis, qui remportera ce tournoi culinaire ? 🏀🍷

Мармурові чаші вирішили долю
FIBA провела жеребкування, яке нагадало мені радянські черги за ковбасою — організовано, але з ноткою хаосу. Туреччина в групі з Італією? Ну що ж, хай щастить!
Група D: Кошмар аналітика
Німеччина з їхніми точними кидками проти Чорногорії, яка панує під кільцем. Мої статистичні моделі вже плачуть.
Хто переможе? Може, Сербія… якщо Джокіч не вирішить прогулятися з кіньми в Сомборі. Ваші прогнози? 😉

Grup Neraka Sudah Diumumkan!
FIBA baru saja mengumumkan grup EuroBasket 2025, dan wow, Grup D benar-benar mimpi buruk bagi para analis! Jerman dengan tembakan efisiennya vs Montenegro yang mendominasi cat ring. Siapa yang bisa memprediksi ini? 😂
Slovenia vs Gravitasi
Jangan lupakan Dončić yang selalu melawan gravitasi dengan assist-nya. Israel punya pertahanan solid, tapi bisa mereka hentikan Slovenia? Saya sih ragu…
Turki Tidak Beruntung
Turki dapat Italia di grup mereka. Sepertinya mereka perlu lebih dari sekadar keberuntungan untuk lolos! 😅
Bagaimana prediksi kalian? Komentar di bawah ya!

Grup EuroBasket 2025 Sudah Diumumkan!
FIBA baru saja mengumumkan pengundian EuroBasket 2025, dan hasilnya… well, ada beberapa grup yang bikin analis data seperti saya pusing tujuh keliling!
Group D: Mimpi Buruk Analis Germany dengan efisiensi tembakannya vs Montenegro yang mendominasi area cat. Statistik saya langsung kocar-kacir!
Prediksi Juara? Serbia terlihat kuat dengan rekor sempurna di kualifikasi. Tapi, hati-hati kalau Jokić memilih balapan kuda di Sombor!
Kalau menurut kalian, tim mana yang akan menang? Ayo berdebat di komentar!

মার্বেলের ভাষা বুঝলেন?
FIBA-র সেই মার্বেল ভর্তি বাটিগুলো আবার কথা বলেছে! টার্কি দেখছি ইটালির সাথে জুটিবদ্ধ হয়ে চমক দিয়েছে। আমার UEFA ড্র প্রেডিকশন মডেলের অ্যাকুরেসি যদি ৭৮.৩% হয়, তাহলে এটা তো এক্কেবারে গণিতের খেলা!
গ্রুপ ডি: স্ট্যাটিসটিক্যাল কোণায় ধরা
জার্মানির শ্যুটিং এফিশিয়েন্সি vs মন্টিনিগ্রোর পেইন্ট দৌরাত্ম্য - এই গ্রুপ আমার সব নিটোল স্ট্যাটিসটিক্যাল ক্লাস্টারকে উল্টেপাল্টে দিয়েছে! আইনের অন্তত একটা লাইন তো মানা দরকার ছিল!
সেরা বাজি কে?
সার্বিয়ার ৬-০ রেকর্ড (+২২.৫ মার্জিন) দেখে তো স্পষ্টই ফেভারিট তারা। যদি না জোকিক সাহেব সোমবোরে ঘোড়দৌড়ে ব্যস্ত হয়ে পড়েন!
কমেন্টে জানান আপনার পিক কে - ডেটা নাকি ভাগ্যের উপর বিশ্বাস?

Мармурові кулі вирішили долю
FIBA провела жеребкування, яке було таким же передбачуваним, як погода в Британії (ну, майже). Туреччина опинилася в одній групі з Італією — схоже, хтось не поділив полонину!
Група D: Кошмар для аналітиків
Німеччина з їхніми точними кидками vs Чорногорія з їхніми rebounds — це як порівнювати яблука з грушами. Моя статистика вже плаче.
Хто ж переможе?
Сербія з ідеальним кваліфікаційним раундом виглядає фаворитом… якщо тільки Йокич не вирішить прогулятися з кіньми в Сомборі.
А ви як думаєте? Хто здивує нас у 2025? 😄

یورو باسکٹ 2025 کے گروپس کا اعلان ہو گیا! 🏀
FIBA نے بالوں والے پیالوں کی مدد سے 24 ٹیموں کو چھ گروپس میں تقسیم کر دیا ہے۔ ترکی اور اٹلی ایک گروپ میں ہیں، لگتا ہے کہ ترکی کے لیے یہ ‘ماربل’ فیصلہ پسند نہیں آیا ہو گا! 😆
گروپ A میں اسرائیل کی مضبوط دفاعی حکمت عملی ہے، جبکہ سلووینیا کے پاس ڈونچک کے زبردست اسسٹ ہیں۔ پرتگال کے لیے صرف 25% چانس ہے، شاید وہ ابھی تک ‘گروپ’ کی تعریف سیکھ رہے ہیں۔
گروپ D کو میں ‘اینالیسٹ کا خواب’ کہوں گا۔ جرمنی کی شوٹنگ اور مونٹینیگرو کی رباؤنڈنگ سب کو الجھا دے گی۔ یہ گروپ میرے تمام شماریاتی ماڈلز کو توڑ دے گا!
کیا سپین اپنا چھٹا ٹائٹل جیت پائے گا؟ یا پھر جوکیچ اپنے گھوڑوں کی دوڑ میں مصروف رہیں گے؟ 🤔 تمہارا کیا خیال ہے؟ نیچے کمینٹ کرو!

¡El sorteo que puso a Turquía en modo crisis!
FIBA ha superado a la Lotería de Navidad con este sorteo. Turquía en el grupo de Italia es como poner un cordero en una jaula de leones. ¡Al menos no están con Serbia y su máquina de ganar (+22.5 de margen)!
Grupo D: El caos hecho estadística Alemania y sus tiros perfectos vs Montenegro devorando rebotes. Hasta mi modelo de datos se rindió aquí.
Y España, claro, sigue produciendo jugadores como Ikea produce albóndigas. ¿Será suficiente para ganar? ¡Comenten sus apuestas! 🏀🔥

Marble Madness
FIBA’s marble bowls delivered the EuroBasket groups with Soviet-era efficiency—except Turkey, who got Italy and are now questioning probability itself. My model says it’s fair (78.3% accuracy, folks), but good luck explaining that to Ankara.
Group A: Dončić vs. Math
Slovenia’s Luka Dončić defies gravity (and my spreadsheets), while Israel’s defense is tighter than a budget airline’s legroom. Portugal? They’ve got a 25% chance—same as my odds of finishing this coffee before it goes cold.
Group D: Stats Nightmare
Germany’s shooting efficiency vs. Montenegro’s rebounding is like a calculus problem nobody asked for. My tidy data clusters? Obliterated. Thanks, FIBA.
Hot Take: Serbia’s +22.5 margin makes them favorites… unless Jokić opts for horse racing. Place your bets, folks!

Grup Neraka Sudah Diumumkan!
FIBA akhirnya mengumumkan grup EuroBasket 2025, dan wow… Grup D bener-bener jadi mimpi buruk buat para analis! Jerman dengan shooting efisien vs Montenegro yang mendominasi paint. Statistik? Hancur lebur!
Sedikit Fakta Lucu: Turki pasti kesel banget dapat grup sama Italia. Ini kayak antrian Soviet-era, tapi untuk bola basket!
Prediksi Gue: Serbia favorit juara… kecuali Jokić memilih balapan kuda di Sombor. Kalian setuju? Atau ada tim lain yang jadi favorit? Ayo debat di kolom komentar!

FIBA’s Marble Magic
Those marble bowls delivered more drama than a reality TV show! Turkey stuck with Italy? That’s like pairing ketchup with fine wine. At least my model (78.3% accurate, folks) says it’s fair—though Turkey might beg to differ.
Group D: Stat Nerd’s Nightmare
Germany’s sniping (48.2 eFG%) vs. Montenegro’s paint dominance (42 rebounds/game)? My tidy clusters just exploded. This group laughs at analytics like Jokić at a horse race.
Host Nation Hustle
Cyprus making it was more shocking than a sunny British day. But hey, hosts win 23% more often—maybe they’ll pull a Disney ending?
Serbia’s +22.5 margin says “favorites,” unless Jokić swaps courts for stables. What’s your take—data or destiny?

FIBA’s Marble Madness
Those draw bowls must’ve been blessed by the basketball gods – Turkey landing with Italy? That’s like pairing deep-dish pizza with…well, more pizza. Deliciously brutal.
Group D: Statisticians’ Midlife Crisis
Germany’s sharpshooters vs Montenegro’s paint bullies? My clustering algorithms just filed for divorce. Somewhere, a math professor is sobbing into their protractor.
Host Nation Hustle
Cyprus qualifying was more unexpected than a British heatwave, but that 23% home-court boost might just make them the Cinderella story. Unless Jokić decides horses > basketball. Place your bets!
Who’s your dark horse pick? I’ve got Slovenia purely for Dončić’s no-look passes to satellites.

মার্বেল বলেছে, সের্বিয়া চ্যাম্পিয়ন!
FIBA-র সেই মার্বেল ভর্তি বাটি থেকে বেরিয়েছে ইউরোবাস্কেট ২০২৫-এর গ্রুপ! আমার মডেল বলছে সের্বিয়ার জয়ের সম্ভাবনা সবচেয়ে বেশি (৬-০, +২২.৫ মার্জিন)… যদি না জোকিচ সোমবোরে ঘোড়দৌড়ে ব্যস্ত থাকেন!
গ্রুপ এ: ইসরায়েল vs স্লোভেনিয়া
ইসরায়েলের ডিফেন্স (+১২.৩ নেট রেটিং) আর ডোনচিচের গ্র্যাভিটি-ডিফাইয়িং পাসের মধ্যে লড়াই হবে। পর্তুগাল? তাদের তো ২৫% সুযোগও নেই!
ঐতিহাসিক তথ্য: হোস্টদের ২৩% বেশি জয়
কিন্তু গ্রুপ ই-এর সাইপ্রাস? ব্রিটিশ গ্রীষ্মের চেয়েও অবাক করা তাদের কোয়ালিফিকেশন!
মন্তব্য করুন: আপনার টিম কত নম্বর পাবে?

Grup Neraka Sudah Diumumkan!
FIBA berhasil melakukan undian yang lebih teratur daripada antrian di Indomaret pas diskon! Turki pasti gemas dapat grup sama Italia, padahal mereka pengennya santai kayak liburan ke Bali. 😂
Prediksi Gila Surya:
- Slovenia dengan Dončić? Auto juara grup! Kecuali dia memilih main game online daripada basket.
- Jerman vs Montenegro? Ini bakal seperti pertarungan antara ahli tembakan dan raja rebound. Saya udah bayangin statistik saya hancur dibuatnya!
Serbia favorit juara? Iya, kalau Jokić nggak kabur balap kuda dulu! 🐎
Kalian setuju nggak nih? Atau ada yang mau tantang prediksi saya? Ayo debat di komen!

Máquina de Sorteio ou Vingança?
FIBA provou que até os sorteios podem ser dramáticos! Turquia caiu no grupo da Itália e já deve estar a ensaiar o discurso de ‘isto foi armado’. Aposto que os mármores tinham ímãs escondidos!
Grupo D: O Pesadelo dos Estatísticos
Alemanha contra Montenegro? Isto é como colocar um matemático contra um gorila no basquetebol. Os números vão voar mais alto que os lançamentos do Dončić!
E vocês? Qual grupo acham que é o mais divertido (ou desesperador)? Digam nos comentários antes que a FIBA mude as regras outra vez!

Grup D: Mimpi Buruk Para Analis FIBA kali ini benar-benar kebablasan bikin grup! Grup D itu kayak nasi goreng dicampur sambal matah - pedesnya Jerman (48.2% eFG%) ditabrak Montenegro yang rebound-nya setara Gunung Rinjani (42/game). Model statistikku sampe error 404!
Hukum Marmer FIBA Proses pengundiannya lebih rapih antrian KRL jam berangkat kerja. Tapi Turki pasti pengen protes dapat Italia - ini mah kayak beli martabak dapat isi cabe rawit!
Prediksi Ngawur Serbia favorit juara (6-0 qualifikasi), tapi hati-hati kalau Jokić memilih balap kuda di Sombor. Spanyol? Pabrik pemain NBA mereka lebih efisien dari pabrik mie instan!
Komeng kalian siapa juaranya nih? Atau ada yang mau join tim Cyprus yang keterkejutannya melebihi turis bule ketemu sate kambing?

FIBA decidiu jogar os dados… ou melhor, as bolinhas!
O sorteio do EuroBasket 2025 foi tão organizado quanto uma fila no Continente em dia de promoção. Turquia caiu com a Itália? Parece que o algoritmo tem um senso de humor duvidoso.
Grupo A: Portugal com 25% de chance? Segundo meus dados (e meu Python chorando), Dončić sozinho vale 50%. Mas ei, pelo menos não estamos no ‘Grupo D - O Pesadelo dos Analistas’, onde Alemanha e Montenegro estão fazendo as estatísticas implorarem por misericórdia!
E os anfitriões? Chipre tem mais chance do que um verão inglês sem chuva (spoiler: nenhuma).
Será que a Sérvia vai ganhar ou o Jokić prefere mesmo correr com cavalos? Comentem aí!
