The USA have reached their top form as they reach the final

Despite missing some key players like Lebron James and Stephen Curry among others, this year’s US team could reach the final yet again. It wasn’t as easy as coach Popovich would desire though. They lost their first game against their opponents in the final, France, and trailed in many of their matches before rallying to win.

In their semi-final match against Australia who also have many NBA players, the USA team struggled in the early part of the game. They were 0-9 from the arc until the second quarter’s fifth minute and trailed by 15 points. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker stepped up though and outscored the Australian team 32-10 in the third quarter and never looked back.

The USA vs France Prediction

Coach Popovich had some worrying times in the preparation phase for the Olympics. The US team suffered two defeats and in addition Lost to France in their opener . The veteran coach was under great criticism. But his experience steadied the ship and finds himself one game away to win yet another gold for his country.

Size could be the main issue for the Americans in this game as it was in the first game. Popovich learned how to deal with that though in their next matches with quick ball rotation and increasing the number of team assists. 

The French players are used to playing against the US team’s players in the NBA. They know what kind of intensity, determination, and focus is needed when playing the NBA stars. They have been great defensively especially in one-on-ones.

An odds of 1.11 is what Vbet is offering for the US win. While a France win has odds of 6.70. It takes a big heart to back France to win for the second time in this Olympics. But what a return you get if they do!
