Greece vs Canada Prediction: the Maple Leafs Don't Have Resources to Beat the Opponent

Prediction for the Summer Olympic Games basketball match between Greece vs Canada, which will take place on July 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Greece

Vassilis Spanoulis' team impressed many people at the qualifiers in early July. The Dominicans, Slovenes, and Croats were all great, but the Greeks really showed them how to play properly. In contrast to the team under Itoudis, Giannis didn't look frustrated but rather like a properly chiseled and inserted link. We think the Greeks have a good chance of making it to the semifinals.

However, the bookmakers don't think the Greeks will win. They're all expecting Canada to make it to the final. It's looking like this might happen, and Greece might lose to a likely future finalist on Saturday. That said, recall how hard it was for the Canadians to beat Spain at the World Championship less than a year ago with almost the same lineup. And they lost to the Serbs.

Canada

The Fernandez team hasn't played in an official match since February, and it's been a year since they've been in action. There was no Murray at the World Cup, but there is now. Does that mean Canada is even stronger now? In terms of offense, perhaps. The oddsmakers think there's a good chance the Canadians will earn at least 90 points. They played eight games at the World Championships and scored 89.5 points five times, but they couldn't get more than 88 points against Spain or Serbia. The Greeks, on the other hand, did well at the previous Olympic qualifier. The match occurred in 2021 in the suburbs of Vancouver, ending with a score of 97-91.

Expert Betting Tips

The bookies say that the Canadians will probably win and that the match will be a bit of a rollercoaster. We don't totally disagree with that, but the score will probably be close.
