France vs South Korea prediction

France were excellent on both sides of the court as they dispatched Hungary by 53 points to 99 on Friday, with three separate players racking 17 points each. Being able to spread the number of points scored around the team bodes very well for Les Bleues moving forwards with next opponents South Korea not being able to plan around shutting down one specific player.

Both these nations put up 99 points last time out, but France were significantly superior from a defensive perspective and look a really tough team to score against in bulk. The expectation is that this will provide foundation to what should be another big victory for the French in this latest encounter.

France vs South Korea tip: France to win with -24.5 spread
