Serbia and Puerto Rico meet Sunday in the 2024 Summer Olympics at Pierre Mauroy Stadium. Here’s a Serbia vs Puerto Rico Prediction. This article will include a Serbia vs Puerto Rico Pick.

Serbia Betting Preview

This Serbia women’s team has a ton of confidence heading into this game, and they feel like they can find success here. Back in the 2020 Olympic Games, they finished in fourth place, and they will at least look to replicate the bronze medal that they won back during the 2016 Olympics. This Serbia team has a few familiar faces that should be familiar to women’s basketball fans in the United States. The best player on this team is Yvonne Anderson, who was a star at the University of Texas. She has represented the Serbia national team since 2021. UCLA senior Angelica Dugalic averaged 8.7 points last season, and she is going to have a huge role in this game. Ivana Raca is also going to have a huge role in this game. 

Puerto Rico Betting Preview

On the other side of this matchup is Puerto Rico, who believe they can also find success in this tournament, and they have qualified for their second straight Olympics. Arella Guirantes was a star at Rutgers, and she looks to be the best player on this team. Mya Hollingshed was the number 8 overall pick in the 2022 overall pick, and she also is expected to play a big role here. Trinity San Antonio has been good at Grand Canyon, and she could play a big role on this team. In this game, Puerto Rico is going to need the defense to step up, and really put the pressure on. If the defense struggles, this game could be a problem. 

Serbia vs Puerto Rico Prediction

Everyone is high on Serbia here, but I am not as high as others. This Puerto Rico team does have a lot of talent, and although they might not be as deep, they have the talent to find success here. They might not have as deep of a bench, but their starters are going to keep them in this game. They might not win, but they will keep it within 10 points. Back Puerto Rico to cover the spread here.
