Australia vs Turkiye prediction
Australia fell short against Belgium in their opening match after a terrible third-quarter left them with too much ground to make up. Losing that quarter 27-9 was a killer blow and another bad period like that here will see a team of Turkiye’s quality bury them. The Group B favourites, Turkiye overcame Puerto Rico relatively comfortably on Friday.
When you assess these two teams, it’s the Opals who are more consistent. Their levels are unlikely to drop across all four quarters and the endurance factor cannot be underestimated when considering how Australia went downhill after half-time vs Belgium. Therefore, the sensible move would be backing Turkiye picking up another victory.
