Why Bet on Slovenia (-133)
Slovenia comes to this match after a very strong blow, the defeat in the semifinals against France, in a match where they started as the clear and only favorites to face the United States in the final of these Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Slovenia managed to woo all the neutral fans of this beautiful sport, thanks to its excellent offensive game. Slovenia averages more than 100 points in these Olympics, even more than the United States. They went through their group stage without problems, defeating Argentina, Japan, and Spain, they applied the same dose in the quarterfinals against Germany, with a result of 94-70, and were stopped in their tracks by a very inspired team, France.
In this match, Slovenia and France shared the lead on the scoreboard throughout the game, but in the end, the Slovenians were out of luck and ended up falling 89-90.
Why Bet on Australia (+100)
On the other hand, we have a team that, before starting this Olympic competition, was a strong candidate to fight for the medals, Australia. The Australians met all the odds, in the group stage they easily beat Germany, Italy, and Nigeria.
In the quarter-finals, they crushed Argentina with an excellent result of 97-59, a result that gave them the courage and confidence necessary for their semi-final match against the United States.
In the semifinal match, they managed to play a very good first half against the United States, but, in the second half, they could not hold the North American offensive and ended up falling 78-97.
Final Betting Analysis: Slovenia vs Australia
This match for the bronze medal is even more even and will be more exciting than the one for the gold medal.
Both Slovenia and Australia have the thorn that both could have been in the final, so they will go out to kill or be killed in this match.
Slovenia, with its star player Doncic, will seek to make the perfect game that they have been playing in these Olympic Games and that has only been deciphered by France.
Australia, like Slovenia, had played a spectacular tournament, but they were unlucky enough to face a dream team from the United States at the top of their game and failed to advance to the final.
The match is very difficult to predict since none of the teams arrive as favorites, but our winner token is placed in Slovenia.
