The teams of China and Belgium have already secured their way into the playoffs of the Olympics, having won both starting matches. In this face-to-face battle, the teams will determine who will get first place in the group. Let's choose several options at once for betting on this match.

After a victory over Puerto Rico in the first round, the Chinese team faced Australia in the second round. The Asians were leading almost the entire match but allowed their rivals to recoup at the end of the game. For the Australians, who, even without Liz Cambage, remains a very strong team and only needed a victory. 2.5 seconds before the end of the match, the score was equal, but this did not stop the Chinese women. In the last possession, they managed to provoke a foul. As a result - 2 shots gave them the victory. with a score of 76-74. This was the brightest match of the tournament at that moment. China has secured a place in the playoffs.

Belgian basketball is on the rise now. This is confirmed by the performance of the women's team at the Olympics. The Belgians not only coped with Puerto Rico as expected but also outplayed Australia in the first round. The team of Philip Mestdagh dominated the entire match and scored a 15 points difference against their formidable opponent with a score of  85-70 at the end of the game. The Belgians have clearly decided to establish themselves as the new force in European basketball in the current Olympics in full swing.

Following the Belgian team results of two starting matches, it is worth highlighting Emma Meesseman. The forward from the Yekaterinburg UMMC finished the match with Puerto Rico with  26 points and 15 rebounds; and missed only 1 rebound in the match with Australia - 32 points, 9 rebounds.
