France vs Serbia Prediction

The French seem more talented on paper. They have the defensive mold required to limit Nikola Jokic's threat in the paint with reigning NBA DPOY Rudy Gobert and the finalist for the award, Victor Wembanyama. Meanwhile, the perimeter defense also seems capable of neutralizing Bogdan Bogdanovic and Vasilje Micic's impact.

France has been clinical in its pre-Olympic warm-up games. It went 2-1, losing a close one to reigning world champions Germany in its previous outing.

Meanwhile, this will be Serbia's first exhibition game ahead of the Paris Olympics. It might take time to regain rhythm but Nikola Jokic is renowned for making things easy for the teams he plays, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Serbia pull off an upset.
