France vs Hungary prediction

Hungary are arguably the biggest outsiders going into this competition, having been being ranked the lowest of any other country in the tournament by virtue of the world rankings. They’ll also be taking on a very strong French team, with experience all over the world. The WBNA is prominent among this squad, with only four currently playing outside of USA.

This is very much a mismatch and that should be evident on the court. France’s superior movement, passing and shooting should see them record a big win over Hungary and send a message to the rest of their competitors.

France vs Hungary tip: France to win with -21.5 spread
