Australia vs Belgium Prediction & Picks - Olympic Matches Women

 by Lou Aguila | in Basketball Picks

Looking for their first medal in women’s 5x5 basketball competition since the 2012 London Olympics, Australia goes head-to-head with Belgium in the battle-for-bronze. Australia still has the opportunity to make the Olympics unforgettable by capturing its first medal in women's 5x5 basketball in 12 years. Australia has long been regarded as a powerhouse in women's basketball, but their place in the women’s basketball pantheon has begun to dwindle after failing to win a medal at the past two Olympics. An emerging power in women’s basketball, Belgium recovered from a disastrous start in the preliminary round, coming through with a huge upset win over No.2 seed Spain 79-66 in the quarterfinals and then pushed host country France to the limit in the 81-75 semifinal loss. Belgium is trying to win their first medal in women’s 5x5 basketball in only their second Olympic appearance.

Australia - Belgium: Form Analysis

Australia has a 3-2 win-loss record entering the bronze medal match against Belgium. They lost their first group stage game to Nigeria 75-62 before winning the following three against Canada 70-65, France 79-72, and Serbia 67-85 to go to the medal round. Meanwhile, Belgium won only one game in the group stages, 85-58 against Japan, but that was enough to secure the final slot in the quarterfinals, where they produced the tournament's biggest upset against Spain.

Our Australia vs Belgium Prediction

Team Australia should be the favorite to win this match. They understand the magnitude of this match for their country, regardless if this is just a bronze medal match. Australia has a significant size advantage in its favor. Belgium is the quicker team, but Australia has a set of wings, such as Allana Smith and Ezi Magbegor, to contain Belgium’s leading scorer, Emma Meesseman. Our betting prediction for Australia vs. Belgium: Bet on Australia to win, -160, at BetMGM.

Prediction:

Australia will win.

Australia vs Belgium - Other Interesting Picks

Australia to cover -2.0 points

Odds -115

Australia should find no trouble putting the Belgians away in this match. Again, they have the size and the talented guards to outmatch and outgun Belgium. Belgium might be scoring more points per game at 76.4 compared to Australia’s 72 ppg. However, the Opals have clamped down their opponents, except the USA, under 80 points. Our betting prediction for Australia vs. Belgium: Australia to cover -2.0 points, -115, at Caesars Sportsbook.

Total Under 148 Points

Odds -112

Australia averages 72 points per game on 54.1% true shooting, while Belgium scores 76.4 points per game on 55.5% true shooting. In a pressure-packed game with massive stake on the line, I feel this game is going to be a physical, low-scoring battle. I won’t be surprised if both teams score under 70 points. Our betting prediction for Australia vs. Belgium: Bet on Total to go UNDER 148 points, -112, at DraftKings.
