Germany W vs Nigeria W Prediction & Betting tips
Turning off Nigeria should not be a problem, one might say, but in the playoffs at a big tournament there are no easy opponents left. If you are not focused on the point, you will say goodbye sooner than you would like. This could also apply to the German women who meet in the round of 16 Women’s World Cup on the African champions from Nigeria. At first this sounds like a solvable task, but the Nigerian women have already shown at this World Cup that they can pose great problems to any opponent with their physical hardship. Nevertheless, it must be clearly stated that Germany is the clear favorite in this duel.
After the USA and France, the German women scored the best in the preliminary round. Now it’s not just footballing qualities that matter, but unconditional will. The Underdogs are in some of these knockout games purely in the back and hope for the decisive counterattack or even the extension with penalty shootout. We are sure that the team of Martina Voss-Tecklenburg will play the game, but the opportunities that come with them must also be exploited.
Before the kick-off of this round of 16 between Germany and Nigeria, the forecast clearly goes in the direction of a victory of the two-time world champion. Maybe we can expect a similar game as against China, as the Chinese women wanted to buy the cutting edge of the German women with a hard game. Similarly, Nigeria did play against France in the group stage and narrowly lost out. A self-runner will not, but in the end, the quality of the German ladies should prevail. Therefore, in the game between Germany and Nigeria we would also give a tip on the progress of the DFB-Elf. But as I said, everything must fit and a little bit of gaming luck could certainly not hurt. The kick-off to the round of 16 at the Women’s World Cup 2019 between Germany and Nigeria in the Stade des Alpes of Grenoble will take place on 22.06.2019 at 16:30.
Germany :
If we look at the naked numbers, then Germany has put up with nine points and 6-0 gates an outstanding preliminary round, especially since the opponents, at least with China and Spain were not the worst. But we must not overlook the fact that in the first two games it was very difficult and both games were won a bit lucky. But this is also part of a World Cup and so we can speak again this year of the German tournament team.
Overall, the German women have not lost for 15 games. For four games there was not even a goal. Almuth Schult is the hoped-for backer and has already shown some great parades. In the playoffs, it will arrive even more on the German keeper. Overall, in a duel between Germany and Nigeria, we would check the betting odds for a German victory without conceding.
The most convincing appearance was the German girls in the last group match against South Africa. Maybe that was just the right touchstone, because South Africa has a similar style to Nigeria. In the 4-0 victory, the German women have left a lot of scoring chances. Melanie Leupolz, Sara Däbritz, Alexandra Popp and Lina Magull were the scorers.
But it will not be that easy in the round of 16 against Nigeria. National coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg warns against the physical presence and the high speed of Nigerian women. In addition, the preparation time is very close, because only late on Thursday evening, the opponent was determined for the knockout stages. The best thing the German team should drive anyway, if you look primarily on itself and then acted similarly, as in the high victory against South Africa.
The key player will still not be available. Dzzenifer Maroszan will miss out on her toe break. Maybe she can play in a possible quarter-finals again, because in the case of a German victory over Nigeria one would have a good week before the duel against Sweden or Canada.
Nigeria:
It was a week full of hope and anxiety. Already on Monday, Nigeria completed the last group match and had to watch as Brazil, China and Cameroon recently moved past in the ranking of the best group third on the Super Falcons. In the last game of this preliminary round Chile could not win against Thailand with three goals difference, then Nigeria would have been eliminated. In a 2-0 lead, the Chilean even awarded a penalty. In the end it was enough for the Nigerian women, who, according to the Swedish coach Thomas Dennerby aged this week as never before. For the first time, Nigeria is in the round of 16 of a World Cup and now you have to pay attention to yourself again. After three defeats in the last four games, the experts of women’s football are not exactly of the opinion that the journey of African women will go on. Everywhere before the Round of 16 between Germany and Nigeria, a forecast for a German victory.
The Super Falcons have shown in the last two games what they are capable of. A 2-0 victory was followed by a bitter 1-0 defeat by hosts France. For a long time it was 0: 0, until the team Tricolore got a penalty awarded. He landed next to the goal, but was repeated because Chiamaka Nnadozie stood with both feet in front of the goal line.
About the meaning of this rule may be disputed. The replay shot the French down to 1: 0 victory. Due to the long wait for the next opponent, the preparation of the Africans got mixed up. Nevertheless, they have of course also followed the German games in advance and know what will happen on Saturday. Coach Thomas Dennerby knows about the strengths of the German team and has great respect. However, he also gives his players the courage that his team can win on a perfect day. This chance to use the Super Falcons.
