All things considered, Australia have a fairly soft landing here in their opening group game with Belgium not the toughest opponent.

I’ll back them to get their tournament underway with a double digit win having picked up plenty of confidence with their warm up win over the USA.

Joining Australia and Belgium in Group B are Puerto Rico and China. The top two teams in the group plus the two best-ranked third placers across all groups will advance to the quarterfinals.

No Liz Cambage, no worries for me.

Verdict

Australia Women v Belgium Women

Australia are the favourites in this match-up and we expect them to cover the line.
