In the match between the national teams of Serbia and Australia, the Serbian team looks more preferable. Serbia has shown more confident play in previous matches and has only lost to the American team. The Serbians have a strong defense and attack, making them the stronger team. Therefore, I bet on the victory of the Serbian team with a handicap of -5.5 against Australia.
In the match between Australia and Serbia, I recommend taking the handicap on Australia. Despite Serbia having a higher class of basketball players, Australians are a tough opponent and can put up a strong resistance. It is also worth noting that Australia has shown good results in friendly matches, including a victory over Serbia. In the upcoming match, the probability of a slight advantage may be with the Australian team, making the handicap a more advantageous bet.
In the upcoming match between the national teams of Serbia and Australia, a high level of scoring is expected. The Serbian team has shown consistently high performance throughout the tournament, scoring at least 172 points in each of their three games. Their attacking style of play and effectiveness under the basket point towards a high-scoring match. Australia's team also prefers an active attacking game, and considering their high scoring in two out of the three previous games, it can be expected that they will also contribute to the overall scoring in the match. Therefore, it is predicted that the total points scored in the match will exceed the set total.
