Germany produced a dominant display to open their Women’s World Cup 2023 campaign, and the two-time champions will be looking for a second straight win in Sydney on Sunday against Colombia to secure their passage through to the knockout round.
Women’s World Cup 2023 Preview
Germany produced an electric display in their Group H opener to highlight their clear credentials for World Cup glory this year. The European nation were overlooked by many when it came to the side that could potentially win the tournament this summer, but their performance against Morocco certainly got fans talking.
Alexandra Popp was out to make a statement after missing out on last year’s EURO final due to injury, as the striker scored twice inside the opening 40 minutes. Further efforts were added by Klara Buhl and Lea Schuller. The victory extends Germany’s dominant record in group stage matches at the World Cup, as they are now unbeaten in 20 games, which includes 16 victories.
Colombia appears to be the nation most likely to join Germany in the knockout stage, as they made a professional start to their World Cup campaign in Sydney on Tuesday. The South American giants scored twice inside the opening 40 minutes, with Catalina Usme opening the scoring from the penalty spot, before Lina Caicedo doubled the advantage nine minutes later.
The win was only Colombia’s second at the Women’s World Cup in their eighth appearance. However, they have now scored twice in each of their two wins at the tournament. It was a pleasing first half performance, which saw them double their first-half tally of goals in World Cup history having netted just once in their seven opening 45 minutes before Tuesday.
Germany vs Colombia Head to Head
This will be the first meeting between Germany and Colombia at the World Cup. However, the South American side has a poor record at the competition against European opposition, as they have won just once in their previous three matches.
Germany vs Colombia Prediction
Germany certainly appears to be one of the leading contenders at the Women’s World Cup this summer, and they could be set to produce another statement performance on Sunday. We could see the European giants running out as comfortable 4-0 winners in Sydney.
