This basketball game will definitely be won by the France team, because the start of the game should never be the deciding factor.
As we all witnessed, there is no such thing as a sure win for none of the teams. Serbia almost lost to Latvia and skipped the surprise, but that doesn't happen for France and now, they have issues. Of course, they can reverse the situation; however, it won't be as easy as they might think or wish.
Israel is a successful club basketball nation, but its national team hasn't achieved any success as far as I can remember.
And unfortunately for them, they won't achieve anything notable in this tournament as well.
Serbia is the clear favorite for this cup, but I think France or Germany will win the title after Serbia.
From what I saw until now, the favorites remain Serbia and Germany, and will probably see Turkey or Greece in the semi-finals. France has a serious issue in their frontline and against these teams, they will feel it.
