The match

The 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup has taken a completely tangential direction with the surprises in the quarter-finals. Favourites USA and second favourites Serbia have been dumped in the last eight, making this Argentina vs France fixture a complete surprise. Argentina are unbeaten in the tournament, having won all their six matches in the tournament. The South Americans started the World Cup with three wins in the first group stage, over South Korea (95-69), Nigeria (94-81) and Russia (69-61). Argentina then progressed from the second group stage with two consecutive wins over Venezuela (87-67) and Poland (95-61). A tough semi-final over Serbia was then turned into a surprise 97-87 result, with Argentina now a strong chance to make it to the final. France did even better, dumping hot favourites USA 89-79 in the quarters. That was the first World Cup defeat or USA since 2006 and followed a successful tournament for the French. They started the first group phase engagements with wins over Germany (78-74), Jordan (103-64) and Dominican Republic (90-56). France then defeated Lithuania (78-75) in their second group stage match before losing 100-98 to Australia in a tight encounter. No one gave them a chance in the quarters against USA, but France have exceeded expectations and made it to the semis.

The bet of our experts

This could be a tight encounter, considering how well the two teams have been shaping up. France have been better than Argentina offensively (90.3 points per game to 86 points per game) and defensively (64.7 points conceded per game to 70.3). Even their two-pointer and three-pointer percentages are better, but Argentina will not bow down easily. With star players Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier teaming up nicely, France have an edge over Argentina in this fixture.
