USA vs New Zealand Prediction: the Favorite's Fire is Burning Bright But Not For Long

Prediction for the FIBA World Championship match between USA vs New Zealand, which will take place on August 26th. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options!

Steve Kerr's men won all five of their friendlies leading up to the World Cup. Two of them were hard-fought, with the Americans coming from behind to beat Germany and Spain in the final ten minutes. The other three games ended in scores of 20+, 30+, and even 40+. The U.S. team has never scored less than 92 points, and the record is 117 in the game against Puerto Rico.

Is the U.S. team planning to throw tirelessly? We have our doubts - why would they?

The New Zealanders have only won two of their six warm-ups, but the one they lost is the most interesting. We are talking about the meeting with the Canadian team, who beat New Zealand 107-76, a difference of 31 points.

Bookmakers believe that the Americans are capable of more. Strangely enough, they did not achieve such a margin in their last game against New Zealand - only 98-71. In that match, the US team featured Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, James Harden, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving and other NBA stars.

There is no doubt about a big win for the US team, the only question is how horrible it will be for New Zealand. We bet that the torture of the New Zealanders will start immediately, but it will lessen with time.
