France vs Belgium Prediction

France is getting the benefit of the doubt from being the home team, and it has had more success winning wise through four games. However, Belgium is coming off its two best performances, and we can't ignore a somewhat competitive game against the United States. Belgium has looked sharper offensively and will have the best player on the floor in Emma Meesseman. If this game is close in the second half, Belgium has more players who can take over and are trustworthy. France has the deeper roster in terms of players who can chip in, but Belgium is the top-heavy squad with stars who can will its way to an upset. Belgium should not be taken lightly in this spot. Give me Belgium and he points in this Olympic semifinal.
