Penn State–Berks Nittany Lions vs Valley Forge Patriots: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Wed, 03 Dec '25)

In the NCAA Men's Tournament scheduled for Wednesday, December 3, 2025, the Penn State–Berks Nittany Lions are set to meet the Valley Forge Patriots. Evaluating the historical data from their previous matchups, each team has secured two victories in their last four encounters, suggesting an evenly matched rivalry heading into this game.

Analyzing the recent face-off on February 1, 2025, the Valley Forge Patriots succeeded in their away match against the Penn State–Berks Nittany Lions with a close 90-85 win. Despite the tight scoreline, the match performance metrics showed neither team had significant advantages in typical shooting stats, such as free-throws and three-pointers, with both teams registering null percentages in these categories. Furthermore, both teams were locked in terms of defensive play with neither outperforming the other significantly in rebounds and turnovers.

In the build-up to this anticipated clash, current momentum seems crucial. The Nittany Lions enter the game following a recent 65-79 setback against Washington Shoreman. Concurrently, the Patriots are also looking to overcome their 85-93 loss to the Gwynedd-Mercy Griffins. This context of recent performances may play a pivotal role in determining the psychological edge of either team.

With both teams showing similar trajectories in recent encounters, along with matching head-to-head records, this game is poised to be competitive. However, considering the statistical patterns and recent game outcomes, the Valley Forge Patriots are marginally favored to capitalize on their previous victory over the Nittany Lions and possibly emerge victorious in their upcoming meeting.
