France W - Morocco W: Form Analysis
France Women are currently ranked fifth in the world and are now the third-highest-ranked side remaining in the competition following the USA's exit on Sunday and Germany crashing out in the group stages. As such, Les Bleues are massive favorites in this match and are currently the fourth-favorite to win the competition, according to most bookmakers. The French Women topped Group F in qualifying with seven points in their three matches and were undefeated. They were held to a 0-0 draw by the Jamaicans in their opening match before overcoming Brazil 2-1 and ended the group stages with a 6-3 win over Panama. France are now unbeaten in their last eight competitive matches.
Morocco Women, on the other hand, came into the tournament as the second-lowest ranked nation at 72nd and were the joint-biggest outsiders to qualify for the last 16. The Atlas Lionesses stunned the world in the group stages, managing to qualify from Group H, which featured Germany, Colombia, and South Korea. Their chances of progress looked even more slim after their first match of the competition, where they were hammered 6-0 by the Germans, which was the biggest defeat at this year's World Cup at that point. However, they rallied and managed to overcome both South Korea and Colombia 1-0 to record a historic moment for the nation by getting to the knockout stages at the first time of asking. They are currently 13/1 underdogs to win this contest and 251/1 to lift the trophy.

France W & Morocco W Squad Analysis
Kadidiatou Diani is the current top scorer for France with three goals and an assist so far, while Selma Bacha has two assists in two matches. The French played in a 4-4-1-1 formation against Panama but should revert to the 4-4-2 setup they used to good effect against Brazil and Jamaica earlier in the competition.
Attackers Ibtissam Jraidi and Anissa Lahmari have scored the Moroccans two goals in the competition to date. They will likely find themselves on the defensive for large parts in this match and will likely go with a 4-5-1 formation as opposed to the 4-4-2 they used against Colombia in their last group-stage match.
