CAN vs AUS Dream11 Predictions

Canada vs Australia 2019 FIBA World Cup Match Preview

Australia are favorite to qualify from Group H as winners ahead of their rivals Canada, Senegal, and Lithuania.

But the Boomers lost to Canada in one of the pre-tournament friendlies. And the North American side is talented enough to emulate that display again when these two sides meet at Dongguan Basketball Center, in Dongguan, China.

Or will Australians improve and play at the level we all know they are very much capable of?

CAN vs AUS Dream11 Predictions:

Australia will not be making the same mistakes again when they lost to Canada, and we expect them to be well-prepared for the match.

However, in Nick Nurse, Canada have a coach who knows how to get the best out of the squad, while his tactics can cage an opponent.

Still, we back the Australians to win the game.
