Even though New Zealand wreaked havoc in the preparations by beating Serbia and playing tight games against Lithuania and Slovenia, I still don't trust them. They're a team without a real center with Kirk Penney as the main man, a player plying his trade in mediocre Turkish clubs like Tranbzonspor or TED Kolejliler. As weak as the Turks are, their reserve players come from Galatasaray or Fenerbahce. So much for quality. In terms of performance, the Turks like to focus on defense and low-scoring games but they still know how to get into a counter. On the other hand, New Zealand have no options but going for a run'n'gun game. That's why I expect a high-scoring game in which the Turks can keep up the pace and score against organized defenses through their centers. In any case, I believe Turkey will go over 80 here and I will take this margin.
