THE PREDICTION

Slovenia produced a brilliant display to see off Argentina in their opening match of the Olympics and they have now won their last seven matches. That leaves Japan with a daunting prospect ahead of them here, especially after they were beaten by Spain in their first clash. Slovenia were impressive in attack against the Argentines which resulted in them scoring 118 points and on the back of such a convincing win, they can repeat that feat by covering the -16.5 spread in this contest.
