FIFA Women's World Cup: France vs Morocco Picks & Odds
The final round of 16 game on the women’s world cup schedule features powerhouse France against upstart Morocco. The French team reached the semifinals of the European Championships last summer and are ranked in the world’s top 10 after cruising through the group.
The French have seen players leave the team over the last year, resulting in a coaching change, but now they have the fourth-best women’s world cup odds to win the title.
Morocco had never been to a World Cup before this year, and they are the first Arab side into the knockout round and the lowest-ranking team remaining. A massive underdog in the France vs Morocco picks.
The women’s world cup matchups adds intrigue as it was France who eliminated Morocco in the men’s world cup semifinals in December as well.
Moneyline: Looking at the France vs Morocco picks, the French are big favorites at -750 on the moneyline. Morocco is the biggest underdog in the round of 16 in women’s world cup odds at +1700 on the moneyline. A draw is +750.
Over/Under: The over 2.5 goals is -130, and under 2.5 goals is even money.

Les Bleues struggled in their opener with a goalless draw against Jamaica, who also ended up qualifying for the knockouts.
They beat Brazil 2-1 to take control of the group and then rested key players but still throttled Panama 6-3. Kadidiatou Diani posted a hat trick, while Eugenie Le Sommer and Wendie Renard got key rest.
Eight goals in the last two games tell us that the France world cup picks are back on track. With Diani, Le Sommer, and Renard leading the way, this France squad can beat anyone if they stay disciplined.
- Pauline Peyraud-Magnin
- Maelle Lakrar
- Wendie Renard
- Sakina Karchaoui
- Eve Perisset
- Grace Geyoro
- Sandie Toletti
- Selma Bacha
- Lea Le Garrec
- Eugenie Le Sommer
- Kadidiatou Diani
Renard suffered a calf injury in the opening game but came back to play in the Brazil win. She sat out the Panama win and should be ready to go in the knockout round.
Much like their men’s team did in Qatar, the Atlas Lionesses are enjoying their role as Cinderella and making history at every turn. The group stage started with a 6-0 loss to Germany, but they bounced back to beat South Korea 1-0 and stay alive in the Group World Cup standings.
A 1-0 win over Colombia, coupled with South Korea’s shocking 1-1 draw against Germany, sent Morocco into wild celebrations.
Ibtissam Jraidi and Anissa Lahmari are the two goal scorers for Morocco in this tournament.
The defense was shambles against Germany, and they will face a similar attack against France, so they need to be ready to block and turn away shots, while forcing the counterattack.
- Khadija Er-Rmichi
- Zineb Redouani
- Nouhaila Benzina
- Nesryne El Chad
- Hanane Ait El Haj
- Ghiziane Chebbak
- Salma Amani
- Fatina Tagnaout
- Sakina Ouzraoui
- Ibtissam Jraidi
- Anissa Lahmari
The Moroccan side is healthy for this contest.
One of top France vs Morocco picks is to take France to win, but the moneyline is just too high.
- The over 2.5 goals is the way to go with this bet, as it has hit in three of the group games involving these teams so far this tournament.
