France and Morocco will go head to head today for a place in the quarterfinal of the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup at the Hindmarsh Stadium.
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.
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 handed Morocco a 6-0 drubbing in their only previous clash. France are not just the Bookmakers’ favourite for a win but also our in-house team to go throuh.
With a odd of 1.15, France are expected to beat the last African standing, with the African issued an 18.00 odds to cause an upset. Four predictions have been made by our Analyst for this game.

- Over 0.5 goals in each half
