SERBIA VS AUSTRALIA PREDICTION
Momentum in a short, but high-pressure tournament such as the Olympics can be so important and right now, one of these two teams has it whilst the other is struggling and need to pick themselves back up quickly. Serbia come into the quarter-finals on the back of consecutive victories. Australia on the other-hand, lost each of their last two group matches.
Serbia are likely to come out strong from the off and put Australia immediately under pressure. The world class abilities of Nikola Jokic gives Serbia an additional point of difference that could be critical as to the outcome of this contest. A tight encounter may be on the cards, but the shrewd move would be to back the in-form Serbia.
