SERBIA VS AUSTRALIA PREDICTION

Consecutive wins for Australia represents the perfect response after going down to Nigeria in their opening game, a shock result which they could easily have not recovered from. Serbia on the other hand, are coming into the knockout stage on the back of defeat at the hands of Spain, which saw their offensive firmly shut down as they could only accumulate 62 points.

Serbia’s defence has been significantly stronger than Australia’s over the course of the tournament so far. However, it feels like Australia are just starting to peak at the right time following those wins over Canada and France. A very close encounter appears to be on the cards between these two nations and backing over 137.5 points to be scored may be the smart move to make.

SERBIA VS AUSTRALIA TIP: OVER 137.5 POINTS
