Belgium women’s team reached Wuhan for the 2026 FIBA World Cup qualification and made a clinical victory in the opening game against the AmeriCup runner-up, Brazil. With a 99-70 victory, Belgium got two valuable points. The European giants would eye a World Cup qualification. They are the 2025 EuroBasket champions.

Belgium out-rebounded Brazil 44-23. They were the best defensive unit in the EuroBasket, allowing just 58.8 points per game. They ranked first in the rebounds (41.7) and third in field goals (46.3%). Belgium have solid odds to crack the World Cup ticket.

Julie Allemand added 12 points and Becky Massey had 11. Emma Meesseman could be an offensive threat. The forward averaged 19.2 points and 9.2 rebounds in the EuroBasket. We back her to score 15 or more points in the upcoming fixture. 

China

China are the one of the hosts nations for the 206 FIBA World Cup qualifiers and they made a winning start to the campaign. The Asian giants outclassed Mali 81-68. China reached the finals of the 2022 World Cup. In their previous big event, they participated in the FIBA Asia Cup where they lost to Japan in the semifinals.

The hosts averaged 93.6 points per game and allowed 67 points per game in the Asia Cup last year. China ranked first in field goals (50%) and fourth in three-point shooting (34.5%). The home side need a big revamp in the offense to surprise Belgium. 

Li Yueru was the top scorer for China in the last game with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Han Xu and Shuyu Yang went for 14 points each. Ziyu Zhang also contributed 12 points in the win.
