Germany and Morocco will kickstart their 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup campaign at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on Monday morning. The Germans are coming off a shock 3-2 defeat against Zambia in a friendly two weeks ago. All five goals came in the second half, with Zambia racing into a two-goal lead by the 54th minute. However, Germany drew level with two goals in injury time. A dramatic end to the game saw Barbra Banda complete her brace, including the winner in the 12th minute of injury time. On he other hand, months after the men’s

groundbreaking run to the semi-finals in Qatar, Morocco’s women will make World Cup history of their own on Monday. They will be the first Arab team to play at a Women’s World Cup when they take on the Germans on Monday. They enjoyed a surprise run to the final of last year’s Africa Cup of Nations, which they hosted, before losing 2-1 to South Africa in Rabat. The suffered a 1-0 defeat against Jamaica in their last outing. I am expecting that second-placed Germany in the world rankings will most likely beat the Moroccans, but with an handicap of +2.5 to the Moroccans, the Morocco women should be winning the game for the following reasons:

Firstly. Germany have played every edition of the Mundial and comfortably topped their qualification group with 27 points from ten games. As one of the most successful nations in history when it comes to women's football, Germany are also one of the main favorites to win the title of World Champion at this competition. However, a slightly worse preparatory period could worry the Germans and raise the seriousness to a much higher level. They have experienced a mixed run of form in the build-up to the tournament, winning two, drawing one and losing three of their last six games.

Secondly. Morocco are looking forward to making their first appearance after securing qualification via their impressive performance at the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations. They have shown that they can score goals, and they are very stubborn defensively. Morocco are known as a team that defends very well and it is difficult to break through the block and score the first goal against them. In the friendly matches, for example, they remained undefeated against very good Switzerland and Italy. Both matches ended 0-0.

Germany may have suffered a surprise loss to Zambia in their final warm-up game, but they usually rise to the challenge at major tournaments. But I do not expect them to have a walk in the park in their game against Morocco. They are most very likely to win this opening game, but with +2.5 handicap to Morocco, it would be a win for the Moroccans.

德国和摩洛哥将于周一上午在墨尔本长方形体育场开始他们的2023年女足世界杯之旅。德国队在两周前的友谊赛中以3比2的比分击败了赞比亚。所有5个进球都是在下半场打进的，赞比亚在第54分钟以2球领先。然而，德国队在伤停补时阶段以两球扳平比分。比赛戏剧性地结束了，芭芭拉·班达完成了她的两粒进球，包括在伤停补时阶段第12分钟的制胜球。另一方面，在男人的几个月后

周一，摩洛哥女足将在卡塔尔创造属于自己的世界杯历史。她们将于周一迎战德国队，成为第一支参加女足世界杯的阿拉伯球队。在去年主办的非洲国家杯决赛中，他们出人意料地进入决赛，但在拉巴特以2比1输给了南非。他们在上一场比赛中以0比1输给了牙买加。我预计世界排名第二的德国队很有可能击败摩洛哥人，但由于摩洛哥人的劣势为+2.5，摩洛哥女子应该赢得比赛，原因如下:

首先。德国队参加了每一届世界杯，并且在10场比赛中以27分轻松领跑出线小组。作为女足历史上最成功的国家之一，德国也是本届世界杯上赢得世界冠军头衔的主要热门之一。然而，稍微糟糕一点的准备阶段可能会让德国人担心，并将严重性提高到更高的水平。他们经历了一场好坏参半的比赛，在过去的六场比赛中取得了两胜一平三负的成绩。

其次。摩洛哥期待着通过在2022年非洲国家杯上的出色表现获得参赛资格后的首次亮相。他们已经证明了他们可以进球，而且他们的防守非常顽强。摩洛哥被认为是一支防守非常出色的球队，在对阵他们的比赛中很难突破防线打进第一球。例如，在友谊赛中，他们对非常优秀的瑞士和意大利保持不败。两场比赛都以0比0结束。

德国队可能在最后一场热身赛中意外输给了赞比亚，但他们通常会在重大赛事中迎接挑战。但我不希望他们在与摩洛哥的比赛中轻松地在公园里散步。他们很有可能赢得首场比赛，但由于摩洛哥的胜率为+2.5，这将是摩洛哥人的胜利。
