The FIBA Women’s EuroBasket:
Considered to be a rather unpredictable competition, it is to be seen who comes out victorious in the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2019. There have been no clear predictions because nobody is sure what is going to happen. Spain is going to be the team to beat, so it can be said that they are one of the frontrunners while Belgium is also not far behind. France has also shown potential with a rather strong lineup, but they fail to execute most of the time. Serbia is a team that can either win epically or lose miserably. Russia and Italy are the possible dark horses.
Are you excited?
