Match Preview
Guam were nowhere close to winning a single match in these qualifiers. Anything but a convincing win for the hosts would be a surprise in Auckland.
New Zealand Looking For a Strong Finish
New Zealand have qualified for the next stage of the FIBA World Cup 2027 qualifiers, entering this final round with a 3-2 record.
After starting the campaign with back-to-back defeats against Australia, 84-79 and 79-77, they secured their first victory in the third round in Manila, beating the Philippines 69-66, where both sides produced poor shooting performances. Samuel Mennenga played the key role for New Zealand with 10 points and 14 rebounds.
After crushing Guam 99-67, New Zealand locked horns with the Philippines for the second time in this campaign on Friday, which turned out to be the most dramatic game of the qualifiers, winning 106-102 after two overtime periods. Reuben Te Rangi was the top scorer this time with 22 points.
Guam Having a Winless Campaign
Guam have no chance of reaching the next stage, sitting bottom of Group A after losing all five encounters.
The only time they offered some resistance was in the third round at home against Australia, losing 93-80, followed by two more defeats to New Zealand 99-67 and Australia 124-54 on Friday.
Verdict
Guam scored 67 points in their first head-to-head clash against New Zealand. The hosts might also lower their intensity after establishing a comfortable lead, so I will back Over 166.5 points.
