Australia vs USA Prediction & Picks - Olympic Matches Women

 by Lou Aguila | in Basketball Picks

After seeing their counterparts surviving a scare against Serbia in their semifinal match, the United States women’s basketball team is out to make a statement on Friday as they shoot for a place in the gold medal match against archrival Australia. Team USA has sustained their dominance into the knockout stages, outlasting the promising Nigerian women’s basketball team, 88-74. USA has so far swept their assignments, including their exhibition matches, heading into their crucial semifinal showdown with the Australians. Team Australia recovered well after they absorbed a shocking 75-62 defeat at the hands of Nigeria. After defeating Canada 70-65 and France 79-72 in a pair of hard-fought battles in the group stages, the Opal flexed their muscles in the quarterfinals as they destroyed Serbia 85-67. The Aussies shot 45.8 percent from the field and held the Serbians under 40 percent shooting to secure a semis berth.

Our Australia vs USA Prediction

Again, Team USA has kept their unblemished record intact after 17 head-to-head matches with the Australians. The Americans have never been given a real threat in the tournament, but that could change on Friday if the Aussies can bring their A-game in this semifinal match. Australia has the height and international experience to counter the athleticism and length team USA has on their side. The point guard play Samatha Whitcomb will be crucial for Australia in their attempt to finally end their losing streak against the Americans. Team Australia will give the Americans everything that they can handle, though that won’t be enough as I expect Team USA to gut out a close win. Our betting prediction for Team USA vs. Australia: Bet on Australia to cover +16.5 point spread, -110, at BetMGM.

Australia vs USA - Other Interesting Picks

A'Ja Wilson Over 20.5 points

Odds -120

A’Ja Wilson scored 20 points or more in this Olympics, except the game against Germany in which she scored 14 markers. With a spot in the finals up for grabs, Wilson is expected to stand tall over the rest of her competition, racking up another impressive double-double performance with 20+ points. Our betting prediction for Team USA vs. Australia: A’Ja Wilson OVER 20.5 points, -120, at DraftKings.

Breanna Stewart Over 6.5 Rebounds

Odds -115

Breanna Stewart has been a great rebounder throughout her WNBA career, and she has demonstrated in this Olympics how good she is in this department by averaging 6.5 rebounds per contest. Team USA will be leaning on her and A’Ja Wilson to grab those boards as they try to outmuscle a tall and physical Australian squad. I expect Stewart to deliver her best rebounding game of the tournament by collecting at least 7 boards. Our betting prediction for Team USA vs. Australia: Bet on Brenna Stewart to grab OVER 6.5 rebounds, -115, at DraftKings.
