On Tuesday, at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Serbia and Australia will engage in a crucial basketball face-off. Forecasting the quarter-final game winner is challenging due to the high level of basketball both teams have displayed in recent weeks. Moreover, each team boasts a roster filled with star players.

After a notably strong performance during the group stages, Serbia walks into the game as slight favorites. Despite their slow start against the USA, under coach Svetislav Pešić, the team demonstrated outstanding skill in their last group-stage games against Puerto Rico and South Sudan. They emerged victorious with an average score lead of 26 points in both matches.

Conversely, Australia marches into the quarter-finals following consecutive defeats against Canada and Greece. However, despite these unfavorable outcomes, the team still has several reasons to remain optimistic as they approach the knockout rounds.
