Germany Women v Morocco Women

Germany Women vs Morocco Women Preview

Next up is a fixture of seeming disparity as 2nd ranked Germany take on 72nd ranked and World Cup debutants, Morocco, at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in this Group H opener on Sunday evening with Germany seeking to collect a straightforward three points at their African opponents' expense.

Although recent results overall seem to have produced a dip in form for Martina Voss-Tecklenburg's side as Germany have managed to register just two wins out of their last six matches overall, it should be noted that two of their three recent defeats were against the likes of USA and Brazil, while the Germans also picked up wins against Netherlands and Vietnam as well.

Germany booked their place for this World Cup after winning Group H at a canter in the European section of the World Cup qualifiers, winning nine of their 10 group matches and finishing five points above the runners-up, Portugal, in the process.

Having won the World Cup on two previous occasions in 2003 and 2007, Germany know what it takes to win major tournaments and they have lost just three out of their last 12 World Cup matches overall.

Morocco are making their bow in the World Cup after finishing runners-up in the 2022 WAFCON tournament, losing 2-1 to South Africa in the final, but the euphoria of securing qualification has quickly evaporated for Reynald Pedros' side as Morocco have managed to pick up just two wins since that final appearance.

Indeed, just two victories from their last 11 matches overall which came in the form of wins against Slovakia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, have been overshadowed by no fewer than seven defeats as well within this poor sequence of results and this must surely place Morocco in serious peril ahead of this upcoming clash with Germany.

To make matters worse, Morocco have also failed to score in eight of these last 11 matches as well, and as they are due to be up against a well-organised outfit such as Germany in this Group H opener, the omens do not appear to be good ones for the African nation here.

Germany W v Morocco W Verdict

Germany will be eager to get off the mark with a win here against the lowest ranked team in Group H to get their campaign off to a winning start, while Morocco could be forgiven for approaching this upcoming tough clash in damage limitation mode, being more likely to get something out of their remaining fixtures with South Korea and Colombia.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score No @ 1.95

Other side bets worth considering:

Number of goals in match 2 or 3 @ 2.30

Correct score: Germany 3-0 @ 5.50
