FRA-W vs JPN-W Dream11 Prediction FIBA Live France Women vs Japan Women

FRA-W vs JPN-W Dream11: FIBA Women’s World Cup doesn’t seem to give teams a chance to grab their breaths and the action has been unforgiving with teams even playing back-to-back situations. Thus, we are already halfway past the Group Stage with the tournament beginning just a few days ago. And in this crucial game, France is going to host the talent of Japan.

France had an unprecedented hiccup against Mali but prevailed 74:59 in the end as relentless Gabby Williams had an all-around 14 points night to seal the deal. On the other hand, Japan coughed up another game, losing to Canada 56:70 in another weak offensive showing. The French women have now won two out of three while Japan has won one out of three.

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

The race in the Group B remains wide open. Canada has already qualified after winning three games in a row. Australia and France are both within the reach with second and third spot whereas Serbia and Japan both have just a singular win in three games. This is a HUGE game for Japan and even France, considering that a loss can set a team back in big ways. The road looks tenous for Japan, which is to play Australia in their last Group game, which means they have two tough games in a row. Serbia has one of their games against Mali, which means they have a big chance to win.

It isn’t to say that the French women can relax. They need to win this game and if they do, their qualification is done. They will have to win this game though to ensure that because they will play a desperate Serbian outfit next. The trouble for both Japan and France have been their sub-par offense. Japan is missing Rui Machida and Saki Hayashi, one a strong playmaker and other a big-time three-point shooter, and these two have been their deficiencies thus far. For France, they are missing Sandrine Gruda and Marine Johannes, effecting their shooting in big ways. Their campaign has been kept afloat by the highly motivated Gabby Williams.

Gabby Williams(FRA-W)
Points: 14
Rebounds: 07
Assists: 06
Gabby has been the lifeline of French effort on both ends, especially in the absence of Gruda and Johannes, and has been responsible to keep them within the striking distance of the Quarter-Finals. I expect this exciting player to figure in 15+ points, 6-8 rebounds, and 3-6 assists range. She can be selected as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 Prediction scenario.

Maki Takada(JPN-W)

Steals: 03
Blocks: 01
Maki has had a couple of 10+ points outings in a row and has led the offensive effort in the last two games. I expect her to be in 11-15 points and 3-5 rebounds range here.

Marine Fauthoux(FRA-W)
Points: 08
Rebounds: 02
Assists: 01
Steals: 03
While Fauthoux has been able to fill the void in the guard position due to Johannes’ absence, her play has been solid on defensive end. I expect a 6-10 points, 2-4 assists, and 1-3 steals range.

Himawari Akaho(JPN-W)
Points: 05
Rebounds: 06
Assists: 00
While Himawari has led the rebounding effort, her offensive output has been below expectations. I expect a 6-10 points and 5-8 rebounds range here.

Alexia Chartereau(FRA-W)
Points: 12
Rebounds: 01
Assists: 01
Chartereau has provided some much-needed balance in a lean frontline without Gruda and has had a couple of big offensive outings. I expect her to be in 10-14 points and 4-7 rebounds range here.

Saori Miyazaki(JPN-W)
Points: 04
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 05
Saori has done well as a playmaker but her offensive production has been so-so. I expect her to be in 6-10 points and 5-7 assists range here.

Sarah Michel(FRA-W)

Monica Okoye(JPN-W)
Points: 09

Marieme Badiene(FRA-W)
Points: 06
Rebounds: 05
Assists: 02
Blocks: 02
Marieme has done well as the starting Center and although nowhere close to Gruda, she has still performed her role well. I expect a 6-10 points and 4-7 rebounds range here.

Stephanie Mawuli(JPN-W)

Aika Hirashita(JPN-W)
Points: 09
Rebounds: 03

Hirashita made just one out of ten attempts from three in the last game and that is really not going to get it done. I expect a 6-10 points range here.
