Greece vs United States Preview & Picks

The United States are tipped to cover in another convincing win.

Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, this Greek team is unlikely to pose many problems for the USA.

  • The United States are 1-0 at the World Cup
  • The USA won their tournament opener by 27 points
  • The Under cashed in the United States’ opening game

Head To Head

  • United States lead the series 5-1 since 2004
  • United States won 108-86 when the teams last met on August 18

Greece Form

Greece come into this game looking to build on a 92-71 win over Jordan in their opening matchup.

The Greeks are without star man Giannis Antetokounmpo and lack notable NBA talent on the roster.

They got off to a strong start though, taking the lead in the first quarter and staying ahead for good in a resounding win.

Giannoulis Larentzakis top-scored for the Greeks with 19 points, while Thomas Walkup had 13 points and dished out seven assists.

United States Form

The United States opened their World Cup campaign with a 99-72 victory over New Zealand on Saturday.

The Americans made a sluggish start and led by just one point after the opening quarter, and by only nine at half-time.

They pulled away after the break though, out-scoring New Zealand 54-36 to run away with the victory.

Paolo Banchero, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year, led the way for the United States with 21 points.

Anthony Edwards contributed 14 points and seven rebounds, while Jaren Jackson Jr and Austin Reaves both chipped in with 12 points.

Verdict

The United States are the better team and boast a considerably betting roster.

They came out slow in their opener, but we expect them to start strong here, pull away and secure the cover.
