USA vs. France Prediction for FIBA World Cup Final – Sunday, September 13

Team USA are heavy favorites to win a fifth straight gold medal. Kara Lawson's squad hasn't been as dominant as the 2022 edition, yet still carries a +35.7 net rating across five wins in this competition. Led by Aces star G Jackie Young, the USA will look to close out the tournament with another strong defensive showing against FIBA's newly crowned No. 1-ranked squad.

France earned that distinction after several offensive masterclasses throughout the competition. Les Bleues are shooting 65.4% true shooting through five games and have been lethal from 3-point range. They reach their first-ever final following a 22-point win over Germany yesterday, shooting 44.6% from the field and knocking down 10 triples in an 86-64 victory.

This could be the French's toughest test yet, as the USA allows the fewest points per game and has the best defensive rating in the tournament, holding opponents to just 19.0% on 3-pointers — a mark that will be severely tested by the second-best 3-point shooting team in FIBA World Cup history.

The USA are comfortable favorites based on star power and elite defense, but a France team shooting this well is a legitimate threat to pull off the upset.
