New Zealand vs Egypt Prediction & Betting Tips - Basketball World Cup
by Joseph King | in Basketball World Cup Predictions
The FIBA World Cup comes to a close for both New Zealand and Egypt as the two nations look to end their tournaments on a winning note in Group N. New Zealand finished third in their original Group C after an overtime win against Jordan was accompanied by losses to the USA and Greece. Their first and most recent game in the new Group N was a 108-100 loss to Mexico, meaning that the Tall Blacks have lost three of their four games in this edition of the tournament. There isn’t much for New Zealand to play for as Australia will be occupying the one available Olympics qualification spot. The entire point of the “loser’s bracket” is for countries to secure their spot in the next Olympic games. Of course, the players would certainly like to close things out with a victory. The bookmakers give the 26th-ranked nation the edge, as New Zealand come into this matchup as decent favorites on the point spread.
As for Egypt, they do have something to play for unlike their Oceanic opponents. The best African team in the competition qualifies for the next Olympic games. As none of the African nations finished in the top two of their respective groups, the race is on to see who can secure the best finish in these final two games. Egypt are certainly now in contention after they were able to win their first Group N game by a score of 86-69 against Jordan. It was the Egyptians second consecutive win after they closed out their original Group D with a dominant 100-72 win over Mexico. Ehab Amin has been the star of the show for the Pharaohs and is leading the team in scoring with an impressive 19.5 points, as well as assists with 4.8 dimes per game. They’ve also gotten strong contributions from former Turkish league MVP Assem Marei who has registered 12.5 points along with 8.5 rebounds per game.

Our New Zealand vs Egypt Prediction
While New Zealand might be the more talented team overall, there are a number of factors working against them here. The main one is simply the motivation angle. New Zealand are only playing to end their tournament with a win while Egypt are playing for Olympic qualification. Not even to mention that the Egyptians are in much better current form with two wins in a row. If they can keep up this hot shooting streak that they are currently on there is no reason why they can’t win this one. Our New Zealand vs Egypt prediction is for Egypt on the +5 point spread.
