France Women vs Morocco Women Prediction and Betting Tips | August 8, 2023
France face off against Morocco at the Hindmarsh Stadium in the FIFA Women's World Cup Round of 16 on Tuesday (August 8).
France reached the quarterfinals in the previous two editions and were fourth in 2011. Les Bleues beat Brazil 2-1 to make amends for their unexpected stalemate against Jamaica in their Group F opener.
They wrapped up their group campaign with a 6-3 win against Panama. France handed Morocco a 6-0 drubbing in their only previous clash.
Meanwhile, Morocco’s campaign started with a blistering 6-0 loss to Germany in their Group H opener. However, the team have proved many wrong since then, as they are still alive in the tournament.
The Lionesses of Atlas have surpassed expectations as first-timers in the World Cup. They claimed 1-0 wins over South Korea and Colombia to book their place in the Round of 16. France are a formidable opponent, but Morocco manager Reynard Pedros says:
France will be counting on their legion from Lyon, the most successful women’s club in Europe. Kadidiatou Diani will lead the attack and will be in search of her third goal, while creative midfielder Eugenie Le Sommer (one goal) is also expected to play a vital role.
Morocco, meanwhile, have visibly patched up their defence following their humbling against Germany. However, they need to score more goals to make a deeper run.
France will start as the favourites based on their superior quality and pedigree.
