Australians lost only to the US national team in 2024. It happened in mid-July, when these teams met in a test match. They managed to score 92 points for the Americans. Curiously, in the friendlies before the Olympics, the Australians scored a lot, that is 90 plus, exclusively against non-European opponents, but in the games against France and Serbia they managed to score only 82 and 84 points respectively.

However, there are other indicators. For example, at last year's World Cup Australia did not play matches with a total under 167 points. However, even there the Australians scored 82 points against Germany and only 80 against Slovenia. In general, in games against top European teams, they have not been very efficient lately.

While the Australians were quietly preparing for the Games, participating in scheduled friendlies, the Spaniards were forced to play qualifying matches. There were four such matches, and in each of them the Spaniards scored at least 81 points.

However, the question was not how many Spaniards scored, but how many they conceded. So - no more than 81 points. Specifically from the Bahamas, Spain conceded 78.

Well, Spain and Australia played each other for the last time at the 2019 World Cup. It was a semi-final, the main time of which ended with a score of 71:71.

The bookmakers consider Australia as the favourite. It's hard for me to say why. Maybe because they haven't beaten the Spaniards for so long that it's about time? Either way, we personally don't expect a million points from the Australians.
