The 2024 Summer Olympics are finally here! Before the main FIBA tournament can commence, 4 more teams need to be selected via the qualifying matches. This game features a clash between Croatia and New Zealand.
Before Betting on Crotia vs New Zealand
Crotia led all teams in scoring in the first day of FIBA qualifying matches. They stormed past Slovenia, 108-92, despite a 26 point, 11 rebound, 10 assist triple double from Luka Dončić. Croatia had Dario Saric counteracting Dončić, accumulating 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists of his own. Croatia has a roster full of high level players and capable scorers. They have legit underdog potential if they can make it out of the qualifying stage.
New Zealand has yet to play their first match of the qualifiers, kicking it off with this game against Croatia. The “Tall Blacks” are hoping to honor their national rugby team, the All Blacks, by finding success at the national level. New Zealand has an uphill battle to qualify and will lean on the size of 7’0″ C Tyrell Harrison in this game.
Crotia vs New Zealand Offshore Odds
Croatia managed to hold off Luka Dončić and Slovenia in their first qualifying match, winning 108-92. New Zealand is unlikely to offer the same level of resistance as Slovenia, but can still fight to challenge Crotia. That being said, it would be a notable upset if they won. Crotia should be able to earn another qualifying win here.
