JPN W vs FRA W Dream 11 Prediction, Fantasy Basketball Tips, Starting Five, Team Details

The Olympics basketball is reaching its conclusion and the competition gets heated up with the team. In this game, two high-powered teams in Japan and France will come across each other in the bid to reach the gold medal game. More about JPN W vs FRA W Dream 11 will be given below.

JPN W vs FRA W Dream 11 Prediction

Japan has played some clinical basketball this Olympics and has defied the expectations. The team has beaten heavyweights throughout the competition, taking care of teams like Belgium. France had a slow start to their campaign but staged a terrific showing against a powerhouse in Spain during the Quarterfinals. Rui Machida has been exceptional in dishing out assists and has a record-breaking campaign, while Hayashi has lit it up from a three-point arc. Meanwhile, for France, Johannes came alive against Spain and like Hayashi dominated in terms of shooting. Japan needs to play some elite team defense to stop taller players like Gruda and Miyem, who can shoot over the diminutive frontline of Japan. Japan has issues with size but they have beaten France once during the group stage. This game can be another crunch-time game considering how well both teams performed against difficult teams in the QuarterFinals. Japan may have a bit of edge beating France earlier but the French women are in a better rhythm now.
