MAL-W vs FRA-W Dream11 Prediction FIBA Live Mali Women vs France Women

MAL-W vs FRA-W Dream11: FIBA Women’s World Cup is moving along at an electric pace and it can be tough to keep up with the long slate. This promises to be another riveting tournament although it is difficult to see how any team other than USA will end up with the title. One thing is for sure, Mali will not end up with a title and they will face the threat of France here.

Mali had another weak showing as the Australians drubbed them 58:118 to make it two hard losses in a row. France began the campaign in a majestic fashion, beating the hosts but the Canadian defense took the air of them as they lost 45:59 in a rather underwhelming showing. They are most likely to earn their second win in three games and are highly likely to make it to the Quarter-Finals.

MAL-W vs FRA-W Dream11 FIBA WOMEN’S World CUp Projections, Stats & Analysis

Mali has been getting hammered on both ends of the floor and they look severely outmatched at every position. Sika Kone has done well but it has been Djeneba N’Diaye who has meted the most damage. They have just been down on the offensive end and shot worse than 30% in the last game, making 27% of their three-pointers, which is “decent”. Can Mali get something going or will they suffer another big defeat against a disciplined defense of France?

France has been a menace on the defensive end but their offense has only been reliant upon Gabby Williams, and it has surely missed two of their leading scorers in Sandrine Gruda and Marine Johannes. The team shot just 3/19 from the three-point line and that is due to not them having ample shot-creators from there and that is where Marine’s absence has been felt the most. Thus, Marine Fauthoux will need to do better for the team to achieve big heights in the tournament. They can always ride on the defense, led by Gabby but the offense…
