Prediction commentary
Based on data as of 5 Sep, 15:54Belgium Women secure comfortable victory over Puerto Rico
Belgium Women defeated Puerto Rico Women 76-64 in their FIBA World Cup Women fixture on Sunday. Belgium led by 12 at the break and never looked back, extending their head-to-head record against the Caribbean side. Puerto Rico had won two of their previous five games prior to this encounter, but this was their third defeat in the tournament window, following losses to Spain and Australia.
Bookmakers had Belgium heavy favourites. While the actual 12-point victory was narrower than that projection, it aligned with the expectation of a decisive win. Belgium’s recent form showed four victories in five games, including wins against Turkey and Japan, while Puerto Rico had lost three of their last five matches overall.
Belgium’s efficiency was evident in their shooting and ball movement. Belgium hit 36 of 73 from the field; Puerto Rico managed 21 of 70. Belgium dished 26 assists; Puerto Rico six. Belgium won their last meeting between the sides in September 2022 by a 68-65 scoreline in the Super Cup.
They had previously beaten New Zealand and Senegal at home in March 2024. They’ve won four of five, the sole loss coming to Spain.
