Spain currently lead the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket betting predictions making them strong title contenders. However, France could also disappoint the title favorites and claim this year’s women’s European basketball championship title.

The Women’s EuroBasket is European basketball continental competition held every 2 years. This year, Serbia and Latvia will co-host the tournament from 27 June to 7 July. Defending champions Spain will return as the tournament favorites. These are how their favorable odds compare to other Women’s EuroBasket hopefuls on Bwin Sports:

The 2019 Women’s EuroBasket betting predictions foresee a 3rd EuroBasket title for Spain

Spain will enter the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket as tournament favorites to win the European competition. They have good odds at 3.20 to win this year’s trophy and defend their 2017 Women’s EuroBasket title. Fortunately, the women’s Spanish national team also have a good EuroBasket record to back up their 2019 title hopes.

The FIBA World number 2 team have won a total of 9 medals from 19 EuroBasket appearances. This includes 3 gold (1993, 2013, 2017), 1 silver (2007) and 5 bronze (2001, 2003, 2005, 2009, 2015) medals. They also powered their way through the Women’s EuroBasket 2019 qualification winning all 6 games against Ukraine, the Netherlands and Bulgaria.

Their good track record in the European basketball tournament will make them a safe bet on Bwin Sports. Spain will play the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket tournament in Group A with Ukraine, co-hosts Latvia and Great Britain. Latvia will be Spain’s only threat however but it’s expected that they’ll top Group A and automatically qualify for the quarterfinals.

France aim to be gold medalists at the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket

The French basketball team also stand a good chance to win the tournament behind tournament favorites Spain with odds at 4.50. Although they last won the tournament in 2007, the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket betting predictions foresee France winning gold this year. Not only do they have promising odds on the online sportsbooks in Serbiaia, but their long experience in EuroBasket could be beneficial.

In 30 tournament appearances, France have won 3 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze medal. Additionally, since the 2009 EuroBasket tournament, the women’s basketball team have finished in the top 3. These include gold at the 2009 European championship in Austria and bronze at the 2011 championship in Poland. Recently, they were silver medalists in 2013, 2015 and 2017.

France hope that their hard work and consistency will finally pay off with a EuroBasket title win this year. Similarly to the Spanish women’s basketball team, France will also play in a relatively easy group. It’s predicted that they’ll dominate Group B against Sweden, Czech Republic, and Montenegro to comfortably advance to the Final Round.

Russia are set to be one of the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket Semi-finalists

The Russian women’s national basketball team currently have the best EuroBasket record among the 2019 participating teams. Unfortunately, they stand a small chance at 8.00 to lift the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket trophy. Russia have won 3 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze medals from 13 competition appearances. However, Russia’s record in the past 3 Women’s EuroBasket tournaments weakens their 2019 title hopes.

They were strong competitors in the women’s European championship from 2001 to 2011 by finishing as either gold or silver medalists. However, since the 2013 Women’s EuroBasket, Russia have failed to finish within the top 5. Fortunately, they were strong competitors at the 2019 EuroBasket Qualifiers topping and winning all their Group C games.

It’s likely they will match their success at the final tournament. According to the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket betting predictions, Russia have the potential to be one of the tournaments semi-finalists. However, with tournaments favorites Spain and France favored to be the finalists, bronze could be the best option for Russia.

Co-hosts Serbia won’t have an easy ride at the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket tournament

Despite home advantage, Serbia don’t have the best odds at 12.00 to win gold at this year’s Women’s EuroBasket tournament. They were European basketball champions not too long ago beating France 76-68 at the 2015 EuroBasket tournament. However, Serbia failed to impress at the following tournament in 2017 finishing in a mere 11th position.

Although Serbia are celebrating the return of their star player Jelena Milovanović, their campaign will be filled with obstacles. They are placed in Group D with Russia and Belgium as fierce competitors.

According to the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket betting predictions, it’s likely that Serbia will pull through and qualify for the final round. However, with strong title contenders such as Spain and France, their best result for the co-hosts could be a 4th or 5th place finish.

Great Britain are the bookie’s least favorite country to lift the 2019 Women’s EuroBasket trophy

Great Britain stand one of the worst chances at Bwin Sports to win gold at this year’s women’s European basketball championship. They have a low EuroBasket attendance with 3 appearances in 2013, 2015 and 2017.

Their failure to capitalize on these 3 opportunities also make them a risk country to bet on. As a result, their best finish from these 3 tournaments was a 9th place finish at 2013 EuroBasket tournament. For more information on where you can bet on Great Britain, be sure to read our review about Bwin Sports.

Despite topping Group F in the 2018 EuroBasket qualifiers, it’s doubtful that they’ll defy their odds and claim a title win. The best position that Great Britain can aim for this year is a top 8 finish.
