Why you should back Germany
Germany has never lost the first game of the Women's World Cup, winning seven times with one draw in eight attempts. Germany also has the substantial talent advantage, headlined by Alexandra Popp and Lea Schuller. Popp scored twice for Germany in the 2019 Women's World Cup, and she has 61 goals in 127 caps for the national team. Popp also has 152 goals and seven Bundesliga titles in 11 seasons with Wolfsburg, also winning the Champions League on two occasions.
Schuller, the 25-year-old from Bayern Munich, scored a whopping 15 goals during WWC qualifying. She also has 61 goals in the last 90 appearances for Bayern and is a threat to score at any moment. Germany has a substantial experience advantage, and the team was dominant in qualifying. Germany out-scored opponents by a 47-5 margin across 10 group games. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Morocco
Morocco is appearing in the Women's World Cup for the first time and also facing Germany for the first time in head-to-head competition. Morocco is riding high after finishing as runner-up to South Africa in qualifying, and defense is at the forefront. The team has allowed only four total goals in seven 2023 friendlies, and that comes after allowing only five goals across six games during Africa Cup of Nations.
In the meantime, Germany lost two of its final three friendlies before the tournament, and Morocco has a tremendous offensive option in Ghizlane Chebbak. Chebbak was the joint-top scorer at the Africa Cup of Nations and she was named as player of the tournament. Chebbak has 21 goals in 60 caps for Morocco, and 27-year-old Tottenham standout Rosella Ayane also gives Morocco another dynamic and talented option. See which team to pick here.
