World No. 19 Hungary have won two of their three games in the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup, both victories coming against higher-ranked teams. They clash with 10th-ranked Japan next in the Round of 16. Japan suffered defeat in two of their three games and faced another stern challenge against in-form Hungary, making us support a 'Hungary victory' in our prediction.
Minnesota Lynx forward Dorka Juhasz made it a third straight double-double in the competition after scoring 22 points and grabbing 11 rebounds as Hungary defeated World No. 15 South Korea 82–73 in their final Group B fixture on Monday.
Monday's victory saw Hungary finish second in the group with a 2–1 record, securing their place in the knockouts. They have now won four of their last five games against higher-ranked teams.
Japan sneaked into the knockouts with a 1–2 record, finishing third in Group A. They entered this clash on back-to-back defeats in their final group games, including a 79–59 defeat to Spain in their final fixture.
Overall, Corey Gaines' team have lost four of their last five games and both of their recent meetings with Hungary have ended in defeat.

Our Hungary vs Japan Prediction
Hungary have been resilient against higher-ranked teams and look well placed to make this a difficult encounter for Japan. They have picked up four wins in their last five fixtures against teams ranked above them, including back-to-back triumphs at the World Cup.
Japan have endured a tough stretch recently, with that poor form continuing into the World Cup. They also arrived here having lost their last two games against Hungary. Combined with their underwhelming recent run, our Hungary vs Japan prediction is Hungary wins.
