France vs Canada Prediction: nothing good for France

Prediction for the Basketball match which will take place on August 6. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

France

The team is expected to play with such a squad. They started waiting for it a year ago at the World Championship, but it still didn't - they only defeated Japan in overtime and had no chance to win against Germany. By the beginning of the fourth quarter, the French were trailing by 23 points.

Only in the game against the Japanese could France get over 80 points - Germany and Brazil scored 71 and 78 respectively. Since the Canadians are less interested in defence than offence, we can assume that France will shoot 76.5 - Canada has never allowed less than 79 points.

Canada

The team are the obvious favourites for this game, having won three out of three in the group stage. Secondly, they have never scored less than 86 points in France. Yes, the Canadians sometimes score 65 against Brazil, but it's rare.

So, the French score an average of 77 and a half points per 40 minutes of game time, while the Canadians score 89.

The history of head-to-head meetings supports this logic - Canada beat the French 95:65 at the World Championship. It happened on 25 August last year, and since then the French team has not even hinted that it can do better.

Expert Betting Tips

We've already seen a trick with a three-pointer and a non-existent foul in France's performance. Perhaps we'll see it this time too. The trouble for the French is that it will take a lot of such tricks to beat Canada. A lot - France doesn't have that many.
