Nigeria vs USA Prediction & Betting Tips - Olympic Matches Women
by Kennedy Kechula | in Basketball Predictions
Nigeria will take on record Olympic champions the USA in the quarter-finals of the Paris Olympics Women’s Basketball Tournament. This will mark the second time they face off this year with the winner playing either Serbia or Australia in the semis. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Nigeria have qualified for the knockout rounds at the Summer Games for the first time. Rena Wakama’s players qualified as one of the two best third-placed teams. They won twice in a tough Group B that also had hosts France, Australia and Canada.
D’Tigress had lost four successive games before they won their opening match 75-62 against Australia. In their second outing, they fell to France 75-54 but regrouped against Canada to win 79-70. Nigeria are averaging 69.3 points per game and shooting 37.5% from the field.
The USA won all five times they have faced off with Nigeria in competitive settings. They met in the group stages of the Tokyo Games in 2021 and won 81-72. The two teams’ most recent showdown was, however, more one-way traffic in favor of the US.
Battling in qualifying for the Paris Olympics, the USA won by a landslide score of 100-46 back in February. They’ll be expected to win again here given their strong start to the Games. Cheryl Reeve’s players, seeking an eighth successive gold medal for the US, have won all of their matches in Paris.
They have won convincingly while averaging a tournament-high 92 points per game and shooting nearly 50% from the field. Team USA began their tournament with a 102-76 victory over Japan. In their next two matches, against Belgium and Germany, they put up 87 points in each game.

Our Nigeria vs USA Prediction
Our prediction for Nigeria v the USA is for this match to see under 162.0 points scored. The USA have been consistent on the offensive end and haven’t put up less than 87 points at the Olympics. Nigeria, on the other hand, have been inconsistent and also aren’t known for offensive prowess.
In their last meetings with the US, played earlier this year, they managed just 46 points. This isn’t likely to be the case again here but the match could produce a low-scoring outcome.
