by Joseph King | in Womens World Cup Predictions
The 2023 Women’s World Cup enters the quarter-final with hosts Australia taking on fifth-ranked France. After topping Group B, Australia were able to get past Denmark 2-0 in the round of 16. It marks the fourth time in the past five World Cups that the Matildas have made it to the final eight teams. They’ll now attempt to go one step further and secure the country's first ever semi-final appearance in front of the home crowd. Standing in their way is a French team that is into the quarter-finals for the fourth consecutive tournament. France finished atop of Group F and secured a convincing 4-0 win over Morocco in the previous round. The winner of this fixture advances to the semi-finals where they will take on either England or Colombia.

14 Jul 2023 - Int. Friendly Games, Women
Australia W - France W: Form Analysis
Australia have already improved upon their round of 16 finish in 2019 but will likely feel that they have a golden opportunity to make history here. FIFA’s 10th-ranked Women’s team is picking up momentum after now having won three of their four total matches in this competition. Goals from Caitlin Foord and Hayley Raso ensured a relatively comfortable win over Denmark in the previous round. This followed up a 1-0 win over Ireland and a 4-0 thrashing of Canada in the group stage, meaning that the Australian women have now won five of their last six games. What has stood out the most about the hosts’ recent performances is their defensive solidity. Australia didn’t allow a single clear cut scoring chance in the win over Denmark and have kept a clean sheet in all five of their recent wins.
France are favored by the oddsmakers despite effectively playing as the away side here. Les Bleus have seemingly gotten better and better with each performance in this World Cup so far. They kicked things off with a 0-0 draw against Jamaica in the group stage before a 2-1 victory against Brazil and a wild 6-3 win over Panama to close things out. This would culminate with likely their best performance yet as they dismantled Morocco by a score of 4-0 in the previous round. While Australia have impressed on the defensive end, France have looked near unstoppable in front of goal. They’ve registered 12 goals in the competition already and have scored three or more in five of their last 11 fixtures overall.

Formation : 4 - 4 - 2
Formation : 4 - 4 - 1 - 1
Australia W & France W Squad Analysis
The big news around Australia's team has been the return of superstar Sam Kerr to the field. The Chelsea forward came on as a second-half substitute in the round of 16 win over Denmark to participate in the final 10 minutes of action. Kerr had previously missed the entire tournament up to that point after suffering a calf injury a day before their opening match. It presents manager Tony Gustavsson with a conundrum as to his team selection ahead of the quarter-final clash. Should he continue with the team that has been performing so well or risk forcing a potentially not-100% Kerr back in the starting 11? Look for the Aussies not to change much ahead of this one with their same 4-4-2 formation looking likely.
France manager Herve Renard has already made history in this tournament, becoming the first manager to win a World Cup match in both the men's and women's games. Renard masterminded Saudi Arabia's huge upset over Argentina in the 2022 Men's World Cup but is now in the frontrunner's position. This France team has some superb talents such as Wendie Renard, Kenza Dali and Eugenie Le Sommer. Renard's French team likes to dominate the possession while suffocating their opponent with constant attacking moves. This was on full display against Morocco where Les Bleus held 75% of the ball and allowed only one total shot against.

Our Australia W vs France W Prediction
Australia will have a few key factors working in their favor which could see them spring the upset over the oddsmakers' favorites in the French team. They'll have the home support behind them, a potential psychological edge having beaten this team less than a month ago and the return of their star player. Even if Kerr does end up coming on as a substitute, she has the ability to make the difference. If the 29-year-old is fully fit and does make the starting 11 then Australia will have the best player on the pitch on their side. We like the home side to keep this one close, possibly forcing this one to go to extra time. Our Australia (W) vs France (W) prediction is for Australia on the double chance.
