USA - Serbia: Form Analysis

The USA are now just two wins away from claiming another gold medal at the Olympics. Having won the last four Olympics, they are the favorites to do so once again in Paris. Steve Kerr’s men have been an unstoppable force at this year’s Games and have won all four matches, averaging 109.8 points.

Against Brazil in the last round, they put up 122 points and won by a massive 35 points. The record 16-time gold medalists also won big against Serbia in the group stages. Starting off their campaign, Team USA won 110-84 against Serbia.

 Three of their four wins in this fixture have been blowout victories and they will expect to dominate once again on the offensive end. The North Americans have lost only once in 2024 and are currently on a nine-match winning run.

After losing to the USA at the group stage, revenge can't be ruled out of Serbia's plans.

Meanwhile, Serbia bounced back expertly after that matchday one devastating loss to the US. They have won their last three games. Their quarter-final tie with Australia was however not as straightforward as their last two group matches.

Svetislav Pesic’s men beat Australia 95-90 after scoring eight unanswered points in OT. Serbia have lost twice to the US this year with the other loss coming in a build-up match before they arrived in Paris. In that game, they were blown out 105-79.

The Eastern Europeans, who’ve returned to the Olympic stage after eight years, are two-time silver medalists. They claimed silver in Rio but failed to qualify for the delayed 2020 Games in Tokyo.
