CANADA VS SPAIN PREDICTION
There was plenty of excitement over the Canadian squad heading into the Paris 2024 Olympics and so far, they have lived up to expectations. Victory vs Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Greece was backed up by a crucial 93-83 triumph against Australia, which saw their offence firing on all cylinders. The Chicago Bulls’ Josh Giddey put up 19 points, whilst Jock Landale gained 12 points through rebounds.
Having racked up 46 individual points already and coming off the back of a vital ‘double-double’ in Spain’s win over Greece, Santiago Aldama is a key focal point for this Spanish team, who Canada will need to contain. But it’s hard to see Spain being able to compete with the youthful, exciting attacking playstyle of Canada over the whole piece, so backing the latter to secure a 100% group stage record has to be favoured.
