The match

It is a clash of two undefeated sides of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, as Spain take on Australia for a place in the final. Spain started the tournament with wins over Tunisia (101-62), Puerto Rico (73-63) and Iran (73-65) topping their group easily. The Spaniards have continued their run in the second stage by brushing aside Italy (67-60) and then pushed aside Serbia easily (81-69). This was followed by an excellent 90-78 win in the quarters over Poland. With a final place now up for grabs, Spain will look to continue their tournament form to clinch a place in the last two. The Spaniards bring a 2-0 record against their opponents, albeit from a long time back going into the 1990s. Spain have a better defensive unit and should fancy their chances of stifling another side. Australia haven’t been far away from surprising observers with their impressive run this tournament. The ‘Boomers’ started with wins over Canada (108-92), Senegal (81-68) and Lithuania (87-82), with the win over Lithuania especially courageous and forthright of Australia’s abilities. They then progressed through the second group stage with wins over Dominican Republic (82-76) and France (100-98). The 82-70 win over Czech Republic then gave Australians a shot at the finals.

Key Statistics

  • Both Spain and Australia have won their six matches of the tournament.
  • Spain have won both the previous encounters against Australia, but back in 1982 and 1998.
  • Australia have better numbers in terms of two-pointers (58.5% to 56.3%) and three-pointers (40% to 32.4%).

The bet of our experts

Spain are the 2006 Champions, but have failed to reach the semis in the last two campaigns. They have a great chance to make it to the finals this time around, considering they have a good historical record and bring good form to this fixture. Spain’s form this tournament has been banked on their defensive abilities, averaging 66.2 conceded points per game. The presence of Ricky Rubio and Marc Gasol gives an edge to Spain however the Australians are no lesser. The Boomers have Patty Mills, Joe Ingles and Matthew Dellavedova in their squad who bring a lot of NBA experience and excellent form in the World Cup. This could be an interesting match and Australia might spring a surprise on Spain.
