Serbia vs Australia Prediction: Aussies will start fast, but won't reach the final

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.

Serbia

The Serbs beat the nice South Sudan with the score of 96:85. They scored 11 three-pointers, six of which were made by Bogdan Bogdanovic. In total, the team needed only 53 shots to score 96 points on 60 per cent shooting from the field.

And now take note: the Aussies allowed each of their opponents to take 69 shots. If that happens again, the Serbs will score their 90, even if Bogdanovic misses nine of nine.

Australia

After scoring 92 points against Spain in the first game of the group stage, the Aussies have only decreased their performance. Canada got 83 from them, while Greece got only 71.

It should be realised that the Canadians are not the best defenders. They allowed Australia to score 24 two-pointers.

It's believed that Serbia will have little freedom in the three-second zone, even though Milutinov and Petrusev are a little soft on defence. Well, okay, Australia will score as many goals against the Serbs as they did against Canada, but hardly more.

By the way, remember David Andersen from CSKA? He played almost 17 minutes in the semi-final match against Serbia in Rio de Janeiro, scored zero points, and his entire Australian team scored 61 points, while conceding 87. Since then, Serbia and Australia have not met in official matches.

Expert Betting Tips

So, the Aussies are likely to start the match again in the style of that famous skater. We don't think they will be enough for the whole match, especially as the Serbian bench looks rich, but the Australian bench is quite the opposite.
