THE PREDICTION

USA suffered a shock loss to France in their opening game of the tournament but that could spell bad news for Iran with a huge response expected. The United States had been unbeaten in their last 25 games at the Olympics, dating back to 2004. They will now surely be refocused on the back of that disappointment and with the Iranians losing their opening game to Czech Republic, making it four successive defeats, they should suffer another loss here with the USA set to bounce back with a win of at least 40 points.
