Both France and Australia have won all four of their games played so far in the 2019 FIBA World Basketball Cup finals. France are top of this second stage group as they have a points difference that is +40 higher than their opponents in this game. Both sides will want to win this final group game as the runners-up in this group are more than likely to face the USA in the last eight. France are the favourites to win this game and are ranked eight places higher than their opponents (third v eleventh). The first set of group games saw them defeat Germany, Jordan and the Dominican Republic. They had a tough game in their first match of this second group stage beating Lithuania, who also lost to Australia earlier in this tournament.

Australia have won their four matches with victories over Canada, Senegal and that win over Lithuania. They beat the Dominican Republic by six points in their last game to clinch their place in the last eight. That's the same Dominican Republic that lost by 34 points to France in the first group stage. The French have a higher world ranking and they can be backed to get the win in this match.
