The teams met in the pre-Olympic control games, where the Australians celebrated with an 11-point advantage over Peru. The Kangaroos looked very strong both in the friendly games and in the group stage matches against the Spaniards, but unexpectedly faltered against the Greeks, losing by -10 to the stronger Canadian team. Meanwhile, the results of the Serbians don't seem too impressive: yes, they crushed Puerto Rico, but had a tough game against South Sudan, where they only showed their advantage in the fourth period, and suffered a crushing defeat against the USA. I believe Australia will only lose after a tough battle, by a single digit: they lost by -10 in the last second of the game with Dillon Brooks' shot, and by a single point to Greece. They also lost by 6 points in a friendly match against the Americans.
