France v Morocco Women’s World Cup preview
Get ready for an exciting clash at Hindmarsh Stadium on Tuesday as France takes on Morocco in the Round of 16 of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
France, a force to be reckoned with, is no stranger to the latter stages of the tournament. With back-to-back quarterfinal appearances and a fourth-place finish in 2011, Les Bleues are determined to shine. After a hiccup against Jamaica, they rebounded impressively, securing a 2-1 victory against Brazil. Their group stage finale showcased their prowess with a commanding 6-3 win over Panama. Notably, France has previously outclassed Morocco with a resounding 6-0 victory in their only prior encounter.
On the other hand, Morocco’s journey began with a tough 6-0 defeat to Germany in Group H. However, the Lionesses of Atlas have silenced doubters by defying the odds and progressing in their first-ever World Cup appearance. Their hard-fought 1-0 triumphs over South Korea and Colombia highlighted their resilience and determination to make a mark on the global stage.
Interestingly, these nations crossed paths in the recent men’s World Cup semifinals, delivering a gripping match that saw France emerge triumphant with a 2-0 scoreline. Fans of exhilarating football will be hoping for a similar spectacle in this clash.
While France holds the upper hand based on its history and form, Morocco’s underdog status adds an element of unpredictability. Will France’s experience and skill shine through, or will Morocco continue their Cinderella story?
With the potential for goals, drama, and surprises, this Round of 16 encounter between France and Morocco is a tantalising prospect for both football enthusiasts and bettors alike.
France v Morocco betting strategy
Morocco’s journey to the knockout stage has been defined by their rock-solid defence. Securing their spot with hard-fought 1-0 victories against South Korea and Colombia, Morocco didn’t merely rely on clutch goals and defensive tactics. Instead, they showcased their prowess by limiting their opponents to a mere six combined shots on target, all credited to Colombia, along with just one significant “big chance”. This remarkable feat underscores their ability to stifle attacks and keep the opposition at bay.
Even before entering the World Cup, Morocco demonstrated their defensive mettle in two July friendlies, successfully shutting out both Italy and Switzerland.
On the other side of the pitch, France boasts a prolific front line that promises goals and excitement. Spearheaded by the talents of Eugenie Le Sommer and Kadidiatou Diani, Les Bleues possess an offensive prowess that can unlock the tightest of defences. With creativity, speed, and a knack for finding the back of the net, this attacking duo has the potential to shake up even the most well-organized backlines.
As these two contrasting forces collide, it sets the stage for an intriguing showdown. Will Morocco’s resolute defence manage to stand firm against France’s formidable attacking power? Or will France’s Le Sommer and Diani break through Morocco’s defensive wall to propel Les Bleues further in the tournament?
In our eyes, France will end the Morocco run in emphatic style.
