Spain vs Mali prediction
Spain made light work of Germany in their first group game with a 30-point gap between them and the Germans. Awa Fam, the third overall pick in the 2026 WNBA draft put up 17 points with Spain’s 50 points racked up in the first two quarters crucial to them pulling away from Germany and giving them no chance of coming back.
Whilst Mali has a decent offense, their defence is unlikely to contain this Spanish roster, led by young prodigy Fam. There’s a sizeable gap in standard and that should be fully exposed over four quarters, so back a big Spain win.
Spain vs Mali tip: Spain to win with -24.5 spread
