The 2024 Olympics Basketball tournament is officially underway! This group stage clash features a matchup between Serbia and South Sudan. The winner of this important matchup will make it to the quarterfinal round.
Before Betting on Serbia vs South Sudan
Serbia absolutely pummeled Puerto Rico in their second game, winning 107-66. The dominant victory was a much-needed result after Serbia lost by 26 points to the United States in their first game. Nikola Jokić played just 23 minutes in the win. He racked up 14 points, 15 rebounds, and 9 assists before getting some rest as Serbia ran away with it. They’ll be aiming for another huge win here, but South Sudan will be a tougher out.
South Sudan was unable to play the United States as closely as they did in their exhibition match, losing by 17 points. Even so, it was a smaller margin than Serbia lost to them by, and another indication that South Sudan is far from the bottom tier of teams in this tournament. A win here would send them to the quarterfinals. Even if they lose, they’ll have a strong chance of advancing if they can keep the score close. Serbia is in the same boat.
Serbia vs South Sudan Offshore Odds
The winner of this game will improve to 2-1 and claim a spot in the quarterfinals. The loser will fall to 1-2 and need some help in the point differential tiebreaker to advance. The best case scenario for both teams is for this game to be close, and I expect it to be just that. South Sudan is going to take advantage of their size by putting multiple big bodies on Jokić. They are the underdogs in this matchup, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they won.
