New Zealand vs USA Prediction & Picks - Men's Olympic Tournament
by Simon Day | in Soccer Picks
New Zealand opened their Olympic campaign with a surprise victory over Guinea, but they are likely to find things much tougher against a United States side smarting from a 3-0 defeat to France in game one. The US were comprehensively outplayed in that opening defeat and will need to bounce back immediately if they are to retain hopes of making the last eight. As for the Kiwis, that impressive win over Guinea has given them hope of making an unlikely appearance in the quarter finals, another victory on Saturday will virtually secure their spot in the knockout stages.Limited Offer.

Our New Zealand vs USA Prediction
Despite their opening defeat, the bookies have the US as strong favorites for the win and they are priced at just 1.60 with most sportsbooks. We are inclined to agree with that verdict, but it doesn't exactly scream great value. Instead, we are looking at the goals market. There is some value in the 2.10 price for under 2.5 goals, but we are going to opt for the slightly shorter odds on at least one of the sides failing to find the net. Our prediction for New Zealand u23 vs United States u23 is: Both teams to score - No, +140 at FanDuel.
