Australia and France meet Sunday in the 2024 Summer Olympics in a women’s basketball showdown at Pierre Mauroy Stadium. Here’s a Australia vs France Women's Basketball Prediction. This article will include a Australia vs France Pick.

Australia Betting Preview

Australia comes into this game with a 1-1 record, and they are going to try to advance with a victory here. In the first game of the tournament, Australia really struggled, and they ended up losing 75-62 to Nigeria. In the last game against Canada, though, the defense made more stops, and they ended up winning 70-65. At the end of the first half against Canada, they were up 18-16, and they never looked back on the way to the victory. As a team, Australia shot 47.5 percent from the field and 40 percent from behind the three-point line. Sami Whitcomb was the top player for Australia, putting up 19 points while hitting two of her three shots from deep. In this game, the defense is going to need to step up. 

France Betting Preview

The French women’s national team already knows they are in the quarterfinals of the Olympics no matter what happens in this game. France opened up the Olympics by beating Canada 75-54 and in the last game against Nigeria, they were able to secure the 75-54 victory. The defense for this team has been elite, and they are going to need the defense to step up again in a big way. As a team against Nigeria, they shot 51.7 percent from the field while allowing them to only shoot 31.6 percent from the field. They only did make 4 of the 7 free throws they shot, and they need to try to improve on that here. Marine Johannes came off the bench, and she finished with 15 points. If the defense is good, they will be in good shape to secure the win. 

Australia vs France Prediction

The French defense has been lights out the first two games and that is going to continue here. The Australian offense is going to really struggle here. France might not run up the score, but their defense is going to be so dominant that they aren’t going to need to score that much to cover the spread. Especially, the Australia bench is going to struggle here, and France will get the job done. Back France against the spread.
