Australia’s depth, physicality, and defensive structure should wear Guam down over four quarters. Expect Australia to control the paint, move the ball efficiently, and pull away in the second half, despite a spirited home effort from Guam. A double-digit Australia victory looks likely. We are backing Australia to win this matchup and the total match points to be under 169.5.
