Nicaragua vs Israel prediction

There’s no doubt that Nicaragua are getting closer and closer to that first WBC victory of their history and it almost came against Netherlands. They were one out away before Atlanta Braves star Ozzie Albies hit a three-run homer with the score at 3-1, breaking Nicaragua hearts. It will be challenge for veteran manager Dusty Baker to pick his side back up following such a tough loss.

If anyone can do that though, Dusty Baker can and expect Nicaragua to be right on their game against Israel in what is another winnable fixture. Whilst Israel possesses a proven MLB performer in Harrison Bader, their pitching gave up 11 runs against Venezuela and looked beatable for this Nicaragua batters.

If Nicaragua are going to win a game at this tournament, this is likely to be their best chance and with a smart manager in Baker guiding them, backing them warrants serious consideration here.
