Our Prediction
The USA national team is considered the favorite of any match by default. However, the results of the World Cup in China, control meetings before the Olympics and the first match in Tokyo show that you can play on equal terms with eminent basketball players. Undoubtedly, nothing shines for the Iranians in this duel. At the same time, the gap between Asians and Americans will not exceed 42 points.
Our prediction is that Iran will win with a handicap (+42.5) points with the odds of 1.90 on 1xbet.
