France vs USA Prediction & Betting Tips - Men's Olympic Tournament

 by Kennedy Kechula | in Men's Olympic Tournament Predictions

A classic comeback powered by individual brilliance has the USA in their fifth consecutive Olympic Games final where they’ll meet hosts France. Read on for our preview and prediction of the eagerly awaited match.

This will be a repeat of the 2021 final in Tokyo in which the USA won to bag a fourth straight Olympic gold. France overcame the challenge of reigning world champions Germany in the semi-finals while the US rallied to defeat Serbia.

Advancing to the final assures the competing nations of at least the silver medal but neither team will want to settle for that. This match will mark the sixth competitive meeting between the two. Of their previous five showdowns, four were at the Olympics.

The US won three of those Olympic battles and as record champions, are the clear favourites to claim gold. France have won four of their five matches at this year’s Games while the USA still have their 100% record intact.

France - USA: Form Analysis

France will contest for the Olympic gold for the fourth time in their history. They failed to claim the number one podium finish in their previous three finals. The most recent was in Tokyo three years ago when they fell 87-82 to the US. As hosts this time, they’ll be confident of getting over the hump.

They defeated Germany 73-69 in the semis to avenge their group-stage loss and one can smell another revenge loading here. Against Germany in the groups, France fell 85-71 but were a different team in the semis.

Vincent Collet’s men dominated defensively and held Germany to under 70 points for the first time in the tournament. Les Bleus would win 73-69 maintaining their streak of putting up over 70 points whenever they take to the court.

France, who are averaging 79.6 points at this year’s Games, have twice beaten the US. Both wins came in their last two meetings, the most recent being in the group stages of the Tokyo Games.

France and USA are meeting at the Olympics final for the second straight edition.

The USA have never failed to finish in the podium places at the Olympics. In their previous 19 appearances at the Olympics, they missed out on the gold only three times. The last time they finished outside the number one spot was in 2004, and are the favorites to win gold here.

Steve Kerr’s men overcame a stern test by Serbia in the semi-finals. The two nations had batted in the group stages with the USA winning comfortably with a 26-point blowout. This wasn’t the case, however, in the semi-finals with the USA being forced to dig deep in the fourth quarter.

They had trailed through the first three quarters. Team USA were carried to the win by guard Steph Curry who put up a shooting clinic and tallied 36 points. The NBA star drained nine three-pointers as the US won a close contest 95-91.

France & USA Squad Analysis

France are putting up the least number of points per game of the teams left competing at the Olympics. However, they have been one of the best defensive teams thanks to their generals Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert.

France have averaged a tournament-high 5.6 blocks per game. Wembanyama, who is hitting 13.8 points in 29 minutes on the floor, is leading in blocks with two per game. France have four players averaging at least 10 points. Guerschon Yabusele is tallying 12.8 points and Isaia Cordinier, 10.6 points. Evan Fornier, who is shooting 34.6% from three, is putting up 10.2 points.

Whatever France are lacking in attack, they've compensated for in defence.

The USA have assembled a squad full of the very best from the NBA. Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Anthony Edwards, Devin Booker, Steph Curry, Jrue Holiday and Joel Embiid have been the preferred players in the rotation.

All except Holiday are averaging double-figure points. James is putting up a team-leading 14.2 points with Edwards, Durant, Embiid and Curry averaging at least 13 points.

Our France vs USA Prediction

Our prediction for France v the USA is for this match to see over 167.5 points scored. The USA have demonstrated their offensive prowess once again. No other team has averaged 100 points per game at the Olympics.

With the gold medal at stake here, it is very likely they will once again hit their tournament average. However, they’ve struggled on the defensive end and each team they have faced has managed at least 83 points. As they take on an offensively sound team, this match is likely to see a high-scoring outcome.
