FRANCE VS BELGIUM PREDICTION
Many expected that Belgium would exit the competition at the quarter-final stage against Spain, but a superb showing from this resilient Belgian team saw them dump out the Group A winners by a score of 79-66. France bounced back very quickly from defeat in their remaining Group B fixture vs Australia to knock out Germany in the last eight, putting up 84 points in the process.
The most impressive nature about France is how different players have stepped up in different moments. Any of their line-up is capable of racking up a high volume of points. The worry from a Belgium perspective is that they are over-reliant on Emma Meesseman, who has top scored in all four of her nation’s games, racking up 98 points as it stands. However, when you take into account the incredible offensive play of Meesseman, backing her to accumulate 25+ player points for the third time in this tournament looks excellent value.
FRANCE VS BELGIUM TIP: EMMA MEESSEMAN TO SCORE 25+ PLAYER POINTS
