Spain vs France basketball predictions and betting tips

After the first two stages of the playoffs finished in overtime, France absolutely destroyed Poland with a 41-point difference. They had a difficult way to this final. France lost two out of five matches in the group stage and was close to being defeated by Lithuania and Hungria. In spite of such a difficult way, they met an uncomfortable opponent.

Spain have won the last four H2H matches with two in the playoffs of the Olympics and EuroBasket. Also, Spain have won nine of the last 10 matches. They were defeated by Belgium in the group stage, which was an unlucky match for them. Also, Spain have won two out of three matches in the playoffs being the underdogs and came back in each match after losing in the first half. I believe that Spain is good enough to extend their streak of H2H victories over France with this match.

Betting prediction: Spain to win

Odds: 2.50 (+150 American; 3/2 Fractional)
