World No. 13 Puerto Rico have lost all four of their previous competitive meetings with China, ranked fourth in the world, by heavy margins. They face the Asian giants next in their 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup Round of 16 tie at Uber Arena. Our prediction backs China to win comfortably.
Puerto Rico’s respite came in their final Group C clash against 16th-ranked Turkey on Monday when they won 75–71 to progress to the knockout stage. Prior to that triumph, Jerry Batista’s team lost their opening two group fixtures to World No. 3 Australia and fifth-ranked Belgium, respectively.
Those back-to-back defeats extended their losing streak against higher-ranked opponents in competitive fixtures to four, all of which by double digits. The 12 Magníficas have also suffered heavy defeats in all four of their competitive meetings with China.
China fell to World No. 1 and defending champions the USA in their Group D World Cup opener. However, that happened to be their only defeat in the group as they bounced back strongly to win their subsequent two fixtures.
Gong Luming’s team rounded off their group-stage campaign with a dominant 71–51 victory over Italy. That result extended their winning streak against lower-ranked opposition in competitive fixtures to five, four of which came by double digits.

Our Puerto Rico vs China Prediction
Puerto Rico have done little to suggest they can pull off an upset here. In addition to their underwhelming 0–4 record in previous competitive meetings with China, they have struggled against teams ranked above them in competitive fixtures and that trend has continued into their World Cup campaign.
China enter this clash with five consecutive victories against lower-ranked opposition in competitive outings, with most of those victories coming by convincing margins. Our Puerto Rico vs China prediction: China –9.5 handicap.
