So far we have not seen too many big scores in this tournament, but I believe that here we could see one of the biggest ones as this game has the potential to be one of the more one-sided affairs.

Germany is into this tournament as one of the main title contenders. The two-time World Cup winners are an indomitable force in international football. Ranked #2 in the FIFA Ranking, have a great squad combinating youth and experience.

The Germans have featured in every single edition of the Women’s World Cup since its inception in 1991. After becoming the first nation to successfully defend their crown in 2007, Germany are eager to add a third star to their badge.

However, Germany’s slightly poor run of results in 2023 has raised questions of head coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg. They’ve been defeated twice and held to a draw once in their five games this year. A recent stoppage-time loss to Zambia in the lead up to the World Cup has concerned supporters, but Germany are notorious for underwhelming in preparatory games before excelling at major tournaments.

They’re a very disciplined side and with Alexandra Popp upfront, you know they’re going to score goals. She’s been one of the best strikers in the world for many years and their physically imposing and intense presence is even more valuable in knockout scenarios, when she can swing the game and score goals from dead-ball situations with her aerial ability. She was the joint-top scorer at the Euros last year with six goals. The veteran enjoyed a very fruitful campaign in the Bundesliga, with her tally of 16 goals more than anyone else.

Lea Schuller is another option for the striker position. She was the second top scorer during the World Cup qualification campaign with 15 goals. Either way, Germany have a good problem in the striker position with two very capable goalscorers, each offering different qualities on the pitch.

Germany’s midfield is also particularly strong, with 21-year-old Lena Oberdorf a superb box-to-box player who can dominate the game from the centre of the park, is strong in the tackle and very good in possession. She was brilliant at the Euros, where Germany was the runner-up and I expect her to be even better at this World Cup.

Lina Magull is another important member of the midfield who scores plenty of goals, while Svenja Huth and Klara Buhl are excellent from their wide positions and have the ability to pick out Popp in the centre. The German squad has an average age of just over 26 years, with an excellent blend of talented youngsters and proven winners.

So with such quality in the German side, it’s going to be an incredibly difficult debut for Morocco, who are the second-lowest ranked team (72) in the tournament. They are one of the eight debutants and are also the first Arab country to qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Morocco are minnows by comparison, but they did do very well at their last major tournament, when they finished runners-up to South Africa at last year’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. They led that tournament for possession (60.2%), passing accuracy (79.5%) and shots (94), and had joint-most shots on target (33). But in this tournament they won’t be able to do that as surely they will have much less possession, given the quality of their rivals.

These two sides have never met before, but Germany has a very good record against African teams. They have won their previous five games against teams from Africa at the Women’s World Cup, scoring a total of 22 goals (4.4 per game) without conceding a single goal.

In Alexandra Popp, Germany have one of the most dangerous forwards at the competition, and a genuine contender for the golden boot award. If Germany have things their way, this could be the kind of game for Popp to get a few goals and boost her chances.

This is one of the toughest possible starts for Morocco and I see Germany controlling the game and winning by a big margin. It’s going to be a Herculean undertaking for Morocco to pull off a result against European giants Germany. Anything other than an easy Germany win would be a shock for me.

到目前为止，我们还没有在本届比赛中看到太多的进球，但我相信我们可以在这里看到最大的进球之一，因为这场比赛有可能成为更一边倒的事情之一。

德国作为主要的冠军争夺者之一参加了这次比赛。两届世界杯冠军是国际足坛一支不屈不挠的力量。在国际足联排名中排名第二，拥有一支结合了年轻和经验的伟大球队。

自1991年女足世界杯举办以来，德国队在每一届女足世界杯上都有出镜率。在2007年成为第一个成功卫冕的国家之后，德国队渴望在他们的徽章上增加第三颗星星。

然而，德国队在2023年的成绩略显糟糕，这引起了主教练玛蒂娜·沃斯-特克伦堡的质疑。在今年的五场比赛中，他们两次被击败，一次被逼平。最近，德国队在世界杯前的补时阶段输给了赞比亚，这让支持者们感到担忧，但在重大比赛中表现出色之前，德国队在预选赛中表现不佳是出了名的。

他们是一支非常有纪律的球队，有亚历山德拉·波普在前面，你知道他们会进球的。多年来，她一直是世界上最好的前锋之一，她的身体素质和强烈的存在在淘汰赛中更有价值，当她可以利用她的空中能力扭转比赛并在死球情况下进球时。她在去年的欧洲杯上以6粒进球并列射手榜第一。这位老将在德甲联赛中收获颇丰，她的16粒进球比其他任何人都多。

舒勒是前锋位置的另一个选择。在世界杯预选赛中，她以15球排名射手榜第二。无论如何，德国队在前锋位置上都有一个很好的问题，他们有两个非常有能力的射手，每个人在球场上都有不同的表现。

德国队的中场也特别强大，21岁的莉娜·奥伯多夫是一名出色的禁区球员，他可以在中场控制比赛，抢断能力强，控球能力也很好。她在欧洲杯上表现出色，德国队是亚军，我希望她在本届世界杯上表现得更好。

马古尔是中场的另一个重要成员，他打进了很多球，而胡特和布尔在边路位置上表现出色，有能力在中路拦截波普。德国国家队的平均年龄刚刚超过26岁，拥有才华横溢的年轻人和久经考验的优胜者。

因此，德国队的实力如此之强，对于摩洛哥来说，这将是一场难以置信的艰难首秀。摩洛哥是本届世界杯排名倒数第二的球队(第72名)。她们是八个首次亮相的国家之一，也是第一个获得女足世界杯参赛资格的阿拉伯国家。

相比之下，摩洛哥是小巫见大巫，但她们在上一届重大赛事中确实表现出色，去年在非洲女足国家杯上惜败南非，获得亚军。在那届比赛中，他们在控球率(60.2%)、传球准确率(79.5%)和射门次数(94次)方面领先，射正次数(33次)并列第一。但在本届比赛中，他们将无法做到这一点，因为考虑到对手的实力，他们的控球权肯定会少得多。

这两支球队以前从未交手过，但德国队在对阵非洲球队的比赛中有着非常好的战绩。在女足世界杯上，她们在此前5场对阵非洲球队的比赛中都取得了胜利，总共打进22球(场均4.4球)，没有失球。

德国拥有亚历山德拉·波普，他是世界杯上最具威胁的前锋之一，也是金靴奖的有力竞争者。如果德国队能按照自己的方式来，这场比赛可能会让波普进几个球，增加她的机会。

这对摩洛哥来说可能是最艰难的开局之一，我认为德国控制了比赛，并以很大的优势获胜。对摩洛哥来说，在对阵欧洲豪门德国的比赛中取得胜利将是一项艰巨的任务。对我来说，德国队轻松取胜是一大打击。
