Finland vs Australia Prediction & Betting Tips - Basketball World Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in Basketball World Cup Predictions
Australia are ranked third in the world and take on Finland who are only 24th. The Boomers are the favorites to win Group E which also includes 11th ranked Germany and Japan who are the hosts but only 36th in the world. Australia have reached the semi-finals of the past two Olympic touraments. In the World Cup, Australia made it to the last four and that followed four previous quarter final defeats. Of 93 matches played in World Cup finals, they have won 40. Last year saw them win the FIBA Asia Cup and now they chase a much higher title. Each of their last three games has been won and their last defeat was by Brazil earlier this month. They have won six of their last seven internationals and are favorites to win this match.
Finland are making only their second appearance in the World Cup finals. Their only other qualification was in 2014 when they finished 22nd overall. Only one of their five matches was won in that tournament. They won nine of their 12 qualifiers to make it to the 2023 World Basketball Cup finals. Last year saw them finish seventh in the EuroBasket tournament so they are getting improved results. Recent matches have seen them lose to Latvia and Lithuania. They will rely a lot on Markannen and should put in a good performance here. We go for Australia to win this match and cover a 9.5 point spread.
