Finland vs Australia Prediction: Choosing the Australians

Prediction for the basketball World Cup match between Finland vs Australia, which will take place on August 25th. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options!

The Finns played four friendlies before the World Cup and won two of them - against Lithuania and Estonia. But these were only home wins with Finnish referees.

On the road, however, they lost to Lithuania and then beat Latvia 57-94. Also Markkanen didn't play against Latvia, the Finns stopped playing in the fourth quarter and only once missed more than 84 points in the control meetings.

In the friendlies, the Australians shot 89.5 only once in five attempts - against Venezuela 97-41. Neither Georgia nor Brazil, let alone France, were able to score more than 86 points.

At the same time, the Australians defeated Georgia and even France, but the difference in those games was not more than five points. As for Brazil, Australia lost to them by the same margin - 86-90.

The Finns have played only friendly matches with the Australians. It was a long time ago, but even in those games Australia did not reach incredible heights. Neither did Finland.

So the Australian team is skilled, but the players are either aged - born in the 80s - or have recently learned to hold a ball firmly. It's quite possible that Lemanis' charges won't have the energy to reach those 89.5.
