Olympic Games 07/30 - Women's Basketball - Australia vs France

Olympic Games - Women's Basketball - Australia vs France

Australia had some problems in their first match against the British team, who fought a lot throughout the whole game. The frenetic pace of the British didn't help Australia at all, as Australia struggles in playing in fast paced games. Due to that, they committed 23 turnovers and one of their best players, Liz Cambage, played just 10 minutes due to foul trouble. 

On the other hand, France is coming from a tight game against Brazil, where they only got a good lead in the 4th quarter. The French side plays in a more traditional way, so they will be a better fit for Australia than the British side was. These two teams faced each other twice in recent friendlies, with Australia winning one of them by 69-59 and in the other way, France won by 64-58, in a game where two of the best Australian players, Lauren Jackson and Suzy Batkovic, didn't play, something that allowed France to overpower Australia in the frontcourt of that game. That won't happen today and I expect Australia to comfortably prevail against France on this contest and with both teams being able to produce some efficiency on offense. Therefore, I'll take both Australia and the Over in here.
