Liège defeated Spriou Basket Women 68-50 in the top division on 11 October 2026, extending their advantage over the hosts who sit ten places adrift in the table. By then it was clear the visitors had something to prove after their heavy defeat at Mechelen earlier in the week.
The result keeps Liège in sixth place while Spriou remain rooted to tenth with six wins from twenty-two games. And here's the thing — the gap between them was already visible in the way both sides approached the opening quarter, with Liège's defence forcing rushed decisions from the hosts.
We had tipped the away side to take all three points with sixty-three percent confidence, and the match unfolded exactly as we expected. Liège were out-thought on the touchline throughout, switching to a more aggressive defensive shape that Spriou simply could not break down.
Shots were not the issue — possession and efficiency were. Spriou managed only fifty points despite having ample opportunity, while Liège converted their chances at a rate that left the hosts out of sight by half-time. The scoreline tells you everything about where this season is heading for both clubs.
What matters most is not the margin but the direction. Liège have found consistency after that terrible result in Mechelen, while Spriou continue to have hit a wall in their campaign. Sixteen losses from twenty-two games is a pattern, not an anomaly.
The visitors now move into the final stretch with momentum, while the hosts face a difficult run-in with nothing left to play for. To be fair, the result was never in doubt from the opening tip-off.
