Italy vs USA FIBA World Cup match preview

In the upcoming 2023 FIBA World Cup quarterfinal clash between Italy and the USA, the odds favour the Americans, and here’s why.

Italy, despite showing resilience after a tough start in the tournament, faces a formidable challenge in the USA. Their leader, Simone Fontecchio, has been performing admirably, but the team’s three-point shooting has been subpar, hovering around 31%. To overcome the USA, Italy will need an exceptional shooting performance.

The USA, under coach Steve Kerr’s direction, had some difficulties in the second round, particularly with rebounding. However, their previous opponents, Montenegro and Lithuania, had dominant big men, which Italy lacks. This means that the USA can focus on one-on-one defence, which should help them on the boards.

Italy vs USA FIBA betting prediction

Considering these factors, it’s expected that the USA will secure a victory; however, the likelihood of securing a win by 17+ points will be tough, especially in a Quarter Final game. The USA’s offensive prowess and improved defence should allow them to outperform Italy but with odds of -1428.57 with top bookmakers . The recommended bet for this game is to bet on Italy with a +16.5-point handicap at odds of -113.64.
