South Korea vs Nigeria prediction
Nigeria are a team who has gotten the job done under pressure before, like how we saw them play in the FIBA Women’s Afrobasket last year. South Korea meanwhile, are ranked number 15 and in an open group, have the chance to make a big statement here. However, you’d expect that Nigeria will seize control at some point.
Getting off to a good start in the group stage is worth its weight in gold and in what should be a close Group B encounter, backing Nigeria is a move worth making. They won a big major tournament only a year ago and boast a better all-round squad than South Korea.
