France vs Canada Preview & Picks
Canada are backed to cover as they continue their great form in the men's basketball at the Olympics.
The Canadians won all three of their games in the 'Group of Death' and are likely to be too strong for a France that has struggled in recent times.
- France have lost 5 of their last 7 games
- Canada have won 9 of their last 10 games
France Form
After losing their last four pre-tournament exhibition games, hosts France failed to impress in the first phase, earning two wins and suffering one defeat.
They were victorious in the opening match against Brazil 78-66, Nicolas Batum making a great contribution with 19 points, five rebounds and two assists.
Les Bleus pulled a miraculous comeback and won against underdog Japan 94-90 in overtime in the second round, but then got easily outplayed by the world champions Germany 85-71.
Canada Form
Canada had three phenomenal appearances in the group stages, winning all three games despite facing tough opponents.
The tournament started with an 86-79 victory against Greece, followed by a 93-83 victory against Australia.
The Canadians wrapped things up with another win, 88-85 against Spain, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander topping the charts with 20 points, three rebounds and two assists.
Verdict
France lost their last four test games prior to the tournament and failed to impress in the group stages.
Canada are looking unstoppable right now, so I will back them to beat the hosts by at least seven points.
Canada -6.5
