Betting List Predictions
Total Points
Given the offensive prowess of Turkey’s youth team, combined with France’s often robust defense, the total points might lean slightly above average. A betting line around 155-160 points could be a prudent choice, relying on a few high-scoring quarters to push the aggregate.
Moneyline
Favoring France with a moneyline bet might seem logical, given their consistent performance in international youth competitions. However, Turkey’s unpredictable flair should not be underestimated. The line may oscillate, but a cautious edge could be given to France at a +150 betting line.
Point Spread
The point spread is competitive, with Turkey often being favored due to their decisive plays. A spread favoring Turkey by 3 to 5 points seems appropriate. This indicates that a small margin victory by Turkey would result in a push, while anything more would cover the spread.
Over/Under on Turkey’s Score
Considering Turkey’s aggressive shot selection and fast-paced playing style, the over on their individual score seems appealing. Setting a threshold around 75-80 points could be ideal, with confidence in their ability to push the restart button in case of trailing scores.
Individual Player Performances
Key French player Jordan Simanic has been exceptional in recent tournaments and is expected to carry the offensive load. Monitoring his performance might pay off well in prop bets. On Turkey’s side, Emre Sarcan’s all-around play offers value for any player props or performance-based wagers.
