France W vs USA W Prediction & Betting tips
France against the USA. Host against world champion. From the achievements of both teams shown so far, this pairing would have been a worthy final at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019. But the draw wanted it so that this game is already held in the quarterfinals. This top match will be kicked off at 9 pm on Friday evening at the Paris Prinzenpark. The easy favorites are certainly the US women, who have reached at least the semi-finals at each World Cup.
But the host continues to dream of the title in their own country. For the first time could be a football nation simultaneously reigning world champion in the men and women. If you look before the quarter-final France vs. US on the odds of bookmakers, we face a tight and exciting game. Also, the betting base is difficult to predict the winner. However, the betting experts reckon that the match has not yet been decided after the regular season, and are in the quarter-final against France.
France:
The French women’s national football team had secured first place in Group A with three wins and a goal difference of 7: 1. Thus, the host of the final round met in the second round of the group of C. In spite of an offensive exchange, it went without a goal in the break. In the second round it went back and forth. Since both teams succeeded in each case one hit, it went into extra time. There Brazil could not use a great opportunity and then had to accept in the 106th minute by captain Amandine Henry the decisive goal to 1: 2. Woman of the day was certainly Kadidiatou Diani.
The striker from PSG was in the starting lineup against Brazil in the third of four games, changed the position several times and put all of them in the service of the team throughout the game. The strength of Diani is that she can play both in the striker and on the flanks. She scored a brace in a 3-1 friendly win against the USA in January this year. At the finals in 2019 provided with four players Le Sommer, Renard, Henry and Gauvin for the total of nine goals. Since the beginning of 2017, France have suffered only four international defeats: two against England, at the European Championship 2017 and the SheBelieves Cup 2018, and two against Germany, both in friendly matches. Coach Corinne Diacre should again give Valerie Gauvin the favor in front of Delphine Cascarino.
UNITED STATES :
After the USA was plowed through the preliminary round with three wins and a goal difference of 18: 0, with Spain in the second round a serious test was imminent. In the 7th minute, the triple world champion was awarded a penalty and was thus early in the lead. But the brave and offensive Spaniards were not impressed and compensated only two minutes later. As a result, an open exchange of blows developed.
On both sides but some good opportunities could not be used. The game was decided in the 76th minute. The Stars and Stripes were awarded their second penalty and transformed it confidently. In the end, Spain was physically equivalent, but despite a lot of bite and determination, was eliminated. The goal against the Spaniards was the first goal for the United States after seven international matches to zero. In an intense game US coach Ellis took only in the 85th minute before the first substitution.
This shows that the US women are fit despite having the highest median squad at the World Cup in France. The quarter-finals will be the 125th game for head coach Jill Ellis. This sets a new record in US football. For 14 World Cup games, the stars and stripes are without defeat. The result is eleven wins and three draws. The last nine games were won in a row.
With a win against France, the USA would be the second team to Norway (1995 to 1999) with ten World Cup wins in a row. Somewhat questionable is the condition of top star Alex Morgan. She had a blow in the last group match against Sweden. After that she did not look as fast and physically against Spain as she did in Spain. In addition, the Spaniards had very often targeted her in tackles. Nevertheless, coach Ellis left her star in the game until the 85th minute.
