Spain vs Belgium Prediction, 08/07/24 Women’s Olympic Basketball Picks

Spain and Belgium meet Wednesday in the 2024 Summer Olympics in a women’s basketball showdown at Accor Arena. Here’s a Spain vs Belgium Women’s Basketball Prediction. This article will include a Spain vs Belgium Pick.

Spain Betting Preview

Spain has dominated so far during the tournament, and they have won each of the first three games. In the last game against Serbia, the defense was good, giving up only 62 points and that was enough for the eight-point victory. In the last game against Serbia, Spain was up 16-13 at the end of the first quarter. In the 4th quarter they were outscored 24-15, but they still held on an eight-point victory. Maria Conde had a strong game, putting up 15 points while hitting 7 of her 12 shots from the floor. She hit only 1 of her 6 shots from deep, and they are going to need her to hit more shots here. The bench was actually better for Spain than the starters, and in this game, some more production from the offense is going to be key. 

Belgium Betting Preview

Belgium lost the first two games of the tournament, but they were able to pick up a victory in the last game. Against the USA in the second game, Belgium was defeated 87-74. In the third game against Japan, Belgium really looked good, scoring 85 points, and the defense gave up only 58 points on the way to the victory. At the end of the first quarter, they were up 19-7, and they never looked back on the way to the victory. Emma Meesseman had a huge game, putting up 30 points while hitting 14 of her 21 shots from the field. If Belgium is going to want a shot in this game, they are going to need another big game from her. If she isn’t elite, this could be a long game. As a team, Belgium shot 49.3 percent from the field, while allowing Japan to shoot only 31.1 percent from the field. 

Spain vs Belgium Prediction

Belgium sure looked impressive in the last game, but that was also against a Japan team that really didn’t have the talent to put up any sort of fight. Spain knows to find success in this game they only need to slow down Meeseman and that’s exactly what they are going to focus on. Belgium is going to have no answer, and Spain is going to get the job done. Back Spain against the spread.
