Australia vs Puerto Rico prediction

Australia have reason to be quietly confident of their chances ahead of this World Cup, especially when you consider the proven talent on the Opals’ roster. There’s plenty of WNBA representation, such as Chloe Bibby, Jade Melbourne and Alanna Smith. Such ability on the court should see Australia dominate against Puerto Rico.

Eighth place finishers in 2022, Puerto Rico face their toughest challenge of the group stage against the world’s number three team. They are unlikely see much time on the ball as Australia look to pick them apart and force fast turnovers. In the end, back an easy win for the Aussies.

Australia vs Puerto Rico tip: Australia to win with -25.5 spread
