The match

Having finished third once earlier in their World Cup history, France would be keen to repeat when they take on Australia in the third-place qualification round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup. Revenge will also be high on France’s mind, considering they have lost 100-98 to Australia in the second-round group stage. More than that loss, what would rankle the French is the way they crumbled against Argentina (80-66) in the semis. That came hot on the heels of their 89-79 win over USA that split the tournament wide open. The first round wins now look a distant peck in the sky, as the French look to recreate the form against Australia that saw them dominate three quarters. The Boomers were one of the pleasant surprises of the tournament, especially after they defeated USA in one of the pre-tournament warm-up matches. Australia followed that up by topping their group stage and then breezing through the second group. Their semis against Spain lived up to the expectations and was an excellent game of basketball, only for the Boomers to come up short in overtime (95-88). With a third place up for grabs, expect the Australians to turn up their game and go with full force.

Key Statistics

  • France’s best result at the World Cup was a third-place finish in 2014.
  • Australia have defeated France earlier in the tournament by two points.
  • Australia have won six of their seven matches in the tournament.

The bet of our experts

Going by the way these two sides have played the tournament, this game should be a cracker. Indeed, when France and Australia earlier played in the tournament, it was a very tight encounter that ended 100-98 in favour of the Boomers. Although the French had defeated USA earlier in the tournament, Australia remain the in-form team for this match. Back Australia to win this fixture.
