Day 5 preview: Semi-Finals spots and survival on offer

Preview

MATOSINHOS (FIBA U20 Women's European Championship) - It's a crunch day at the FIBA U20 Women's European Championship with medals just one or two wins away.

The Quarter-Finals line-up sees the familiar faces of defending champions Spain, who will face a Hungary side being inspired by playmaker Agnes Studer who has been on fire in the past couple of games.

Italy reached the Final at last year's edition and they will be tipping-off against France in what could be the tie of the day. However, Latvia and Slovenia also look particularly well matched.

After upsetting the mood for hosts Portugal in the Round of 16, there is a great chance for Belgium to cause another surprise by overturning Russia's perfect record. Laure Resimont and Laura Henket are likely to be key, since they were terrific in the last game.

Elsewhere, there is a huge day in terms of Classification, since four teams will be able to secure their Division A status for 2018 by taking a victory today.
