Canada vs Nigeria Prediction & Betting Tips - Olympic Matches Women
by Kennedy Kechula | in Basketball Predictions
Canada will play Nigeria in the final Group B game of the women’s basketball competition at the Olympics games. Heading into this game, Canada sit bottom with two points while Nigeria are second on four. Here’s a look at the stats behind this match and our prediction.
Canada lost both their opening matches in Paris. They’ll be desperate to earn a win here and give their knockout round hopes a boost. Victor Lapena’s charges have struggled in offence and are one of two teams averaging under 60 points a game.
They began the tournament with a demoralising 75-54 loss to hosts France. In their second game, they were a bit better on the offensive end as they lost 70-65 to Australia. Bridget Carlton is averaging a team high 13.5 points and Kia Nurse 11.5 points. Canada defeated Nigeria in their only encounter to date, which was in the 2018 World Cup.
Nigeria arrived in Paris on the back of four successive losses and immediately put a stop to that in their first game. Rena Wakama’s players produced an impressive 75-62 victory over Australia. Nigeria, Africa’s sole representatives, dominated on the glass and took advantage of Australia’s turnovers to win.
However, In their second game against France, it was Nigeria who were giving the ball away. They turned the ball over 20 times and also struggled with their shot-making. They shot just 38% from the field and 21% from three and ended up losing 75-54. Ezinne Kalu scored a game high 18 points while Murjanatu Musa tallied 14 points. The two were the only Nigeria players with double-digit points.
