Turkey vs France Basteball Odds

Teams Preview

Turkey

Turkey Women, who won all six of their matches in the FIBA Women's EuroBasket Qualifiers earlier in the year, were placed in Group F alongside Slovakia, Romania, and Iceland, whom they defeated twice.

In that tournament, Teaira McCowan was Turkey's top scorer, averaging 24 points per game. She also led the team in rebounding with 10 boards per game and boasted the best efficiency rating at 29. 

Point guard Sevgi Uzun averaged 7.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in the qualifiers. If she can ignite the offense with her three-point shooting, it could pose a significant challenge for France Women.

Offensively, Turkey is averaging 82.5 points per game, while on the defensive end, they are allowing 57.6 points per game. Turkey heavily relies on their forwards and centers for scoring and primarily operates as a two-point shooting team rather than consistently hitting shots from beyond the arc.

France

The Silver medalists from the 2024 Olympics, France Women, will be looking to make an easy meal of Turkey Women. France Women topped Group E with six wins in as many matches, defeating Latvia, Israel, and Iceland twice.

Gabby Williams, who was the leading scorer for France with 16 points per game, will miss the Women's EuroBasket due to her commitments in the WNBA. In her absence, Janelle Salaun, who averaged 14.5 points, 4 rebounds, and one assist, alongside Iliana Rupert, who averaged 12.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists, will be crucial for both rebounding and scoring in the paint on the offensive end.

Marie-Paule Foppossi, who averaged 8 points per game in the qualifiers, is expected to see increased minutes and likely start at small forward. She has consistently averaged around 8-10 points and 4-5 rebounds per game with an efficiency rating of 7.3.

In their last six matches, France Women have averaged an impressive 95.3 points per game offensively, while their defense has been stifling, allowing just 44 points per game. They have conceded over 50 points to their opponents only twice in those six contests.

Turkey vs France Match Prediction & Analysis

Turkey Women and France Women will square off in the opening night's first Group A contest of the FIBA Women's EuroBasket on Wednesday, June 18th, at the Peace and Friendship Stadium in Piraeus, Greece. 

Both teams emerged undefeated from the EuroBasket Women's Qualifiers held in February 2025, winning all six of their matches. While the teams recently clashed in international friendlies, with France Women defeating Turkey Women 81-61, their last major competitive encounter was back in 2015, a game Turkey Women won 56-66.

Turkey Women have maintained largely the same squad that competed in the qualifiers. Conversely, France Women will be missing several key players in this tournament, which somewhat diminishes their status as favorites.
