Tip and bets
Teams played three head-to-head matches in last two years and two of those matches were won by Australia. But now USA will have a better squad, so it will be hard for Australians to stop their opponent. We think that we will see the American team in the final of Olympic tournament.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-11,5) on USA
Both teams are high-scoring, but we think that total is way too high for this match, so we recommend to bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under 180.5 points
