GERMANY VS BELGIUM PREDICTION

The big news from Belgium’s perspective is that they will have to do without guard Julie Allemand through injury, which will hurt them from a scoring point of view when considering Allemand’s ability to not only hit baskets, but also record assists and rebounds in bulk. Despite this, Belgium’s strength-in-depth should still see them enjoy the majority of offensive play against Germany.

Dallas Wings’ Satou Sabally is pivotal to Germany’s chances, such is the high level of her playmaking skills. But Sabally may struggle to find enough support from her teammates that would see them put up enough points to deny Belgium of victory in this one.
