USA v Japan
This game tips off at 2245 BST on Tuesday 16th of August.
This is going to be the biggest mismatch of the quarter-finals and you can’t expect anything over than a serious triumph for the Americans here. They may do enough to allow them to coast home but the Americans will also think that this is a good chance to start building towards the Gold Medal. You have to feel a bit sorry for Japan but they performed immensely well in getting out of the group stages.
Taking the United States at -37.5 at odds of 1.90 isn’t the worst best you can find. There is also the Over/Under market to look forward to and you can opt for OVER 173.5 which is provided at odds of 1.90. Bet Now!
As is so often the case with the USA sides in Rio, the Over/Under markets are not worth considering or exploring, so focus on other Prop bets in the quarter-final stage.
France v Canada
This game tips off at 0230 BST on Wednesday 17th of August.
This could be the tightest game of the quarter-finals. Both of these teams grabbed 8 points in the group and there is more than just a common language between the two sides, there is a good standard of play just beneath the leading teams in the tournament.
France should edge it but taking Canada at +5, at odds of 1.90, isn’t the worst bet you’ll find this week. For the Over/Under market, look to go OVER 129.0 and this is available at odds of 1.90. Bet Now!
The Canadians may cause an upset and fi you think they’ll be out of the blocks quickly, take them to reach 20 points first at odds of 2.55.
Anyone looking at the France half-time, Canada full-time bet and wants to get involved will find that the odds are 8.50, which makes it an interesting enough bet for most people. This is going to be a close game and it could go either way so this outcome isn’t out of the question.
