FRANCE VS CANADA PREDICTION
The big difference between these two teams is that France only have one standout needle-mover within their squad in Victor Wembanyama, whereas Canada boasts more than one whether it be Shaivonte Gilgeous-Alexander or Rowan Barrett Jr. Wins over Greece, Australia and Spain have laid down a marker to the rest of the competition heading into the quarter-finals.
However, France have the psychological factor of home advantage, who can make a difference when it comes to driving the French players on. Wembanyama has top scored for them across each of their three matches played so far, racking up 51 points and it’s on stages such as this where generational talents announce themselves on the world stage. With that in mind, consider backing ‘Wemby’ to register over 19.5 points, regardless of whether his team progresses or not.
