AUSTRALIA VS CANADA PREDICTION

The Opals were stunned by Nigeria as their offence fell totally flat, putting up just 62 points in a 13-point loss, with Australia simply unable to consistently find a way through the excellent Nigerian defence. Whilst a squad of Australia’s quality could easily end up clicking at a moment’s notice, confidence must be low within their locker room.

With that in mind, this serves as an opportunity for Canada to put right their attacking struggles which saw them go down 54-75 to France. But it would be no surprise if Australia and Canada each were to struggle inside and outside the paint with huge pressure on the shoulders of both sets of players. Regardless of the final outcome, explore backing under 143.0 points to be scored.

AUSTRALIA VS CANADA TIP: UNDER 143.0 GAME TOTAL
