Nigeria are on the brink of exiting the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup in the group stages. They have lost both of their opening games in the group and face group-leading France, who have won their two fixtures by emphatic margins, next on Monday. Our prediction backs France to stroll to victory here.
It's already a disappointing start to the FIBA Women's World Cup for the D'Tigress of Nigeria. Whether they make it to the next round will be decided by the outcome of Monday’s clash.
The African champions fell to a shock 18-point defeat to South Korea in their opening game and suffered a 71–67 loss to Hungary in their second fixture. They are 1–9 over their last 10 games and have lost each of their last four fixtures, with three of those defeats coming by wide margins.
France secured the biggest win in the tournament’s opening round after steamrolling Hungary by 46 points. That winning margin remains unmatched so far. They eased past South Korea by 26 points, winning 95–69.
The Blues are on a seven-game winning streak in competitive fixtures, including a victory over Nigeria in the World Cup qualifiers, and are 4–1 against the D’Tigress.

Our Nigeria vs France Prediction
The question here is not whether France can overcome Nigeria on Monday, but by how many points. The D’Tigress entered their first two games in the competition as favourites, but came off second best on both occasions. They are priced as clear underdogs here, and rightly so following their unceasing run of underwhelming performances.
Meanwhile, France have not only won both of their opening games but have done so emphatically. They should have little trouble covering the handicap against a struggling D’Tigress side. Our France vs Nigeria prediction: France –21.5 handicap.
