USA vs Czech Republic Betting Tips & Predictions

by JohnnyBet from

Reigning champions and tournament favourites USA start the defence of their Basketball World Cup crown with a game against the Czech Republic in Shanghai on September 1.

Led by San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, the Americans are looking to win a third consecutive World Cup title in what has been a golden period for the country. They have also won an Olympic gold medal and won the AmeriCup in the last few years alone.

The Czechs are a growing force in basketball, but they still aren’t operating at a supreme level, and with four defeats from their five games at EuroBasket 2017 it’s fairly evident they will have their work cut out in hanging onto the coattails of the world champions here.

Here we’ll be making a series of USA vs Czech Republic predictions, but as you can probably guess there won’t be many surprises to them!

Also in this USA vs Czech Republic preview, we’ll reveal our betting tips for the game and an exclusive way in which you can live stream the contest to your chosen smartphone or tablet device.

1. USA vs Czech Republic Betting Odds

The bookmakers very rarely get it wrong, and they aren’t giving the underdogs a chance in their USA vs Czech Republic betting odds.

But this is sport, and you simply never know how things are going to unfold!

2. USA vs Czech Republic Betting Tips

So, what chance can we give the Czech Republic here?They simply don’t have the pedigree of the US in international basketball, and a seventh place finish at EuroBasket in 2015 is the best they have mustered up on the big stage so far. This will be their World Cup debut, too.

The Czechs will co-host EuroBasket in 2021, and they will be desperate to make a good impression at the World Cup in order to boost the popularity of the sport in the country.

Their hopes will be pinned on Tomas Satoransky, the point guard who has just signed a deal with the Chicago Bulls after a strong 2019 season with the Washington Wizards. Back in January he recorded his first NBA triple-double, a performance which also featured 12 rebounds and 10 assists, against the Milwaukee Bucks, and he will have to have the game of his life to bring down the USA here.

And that’s because his teammates largely ply their trade in club leagues in the Czech Republic and Spain; they simply don’t have exposure to top level basketball like the Americans do week in, week out.

Even though the US will be without many of their biggest stars, including LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant, their roster is still oozing with quality; not least James Harden, the NBA’s MVP, and Kawhi Leonard.

At EuroBasket 2017, the Czechs lost by a 37 and 38 point margin respectively to Spain and Croatia, and we know that the USA have ten points or so on them.

So our USA vs Czech Republic betting tips focus on the champions’ clear advantage, so be sure to back the Stars and Stripes with a sizable 30-point handicap.
