Colombia will be looking to secure their spot in the round of 16 at the Women’s World Cup as Group H winners on Thursday when they take on Morocco. However, the African nation will also be chasing a result, as they look to finish in the second qualifying spot.
A huge final day of action in Group H is set for Thursday, as Colombia look to cause a huge shock and secure their passage through to the round of 16 as Group H winners. The nation caught the imagination at the World Cup on matchday two, as they recorded a stunning 2-1 victory over Germany in Sydney. That success now means that they will top the standings and secure an easier passage through to the final with at least a draw against Morocco.
The victory over Germany saw Colombia make history, as they are now only the second team from the South American region to boast a 100% record in a single edition of the World Cup after two rounds of matches. They have also been excellent in front of goal over their opening two matches, as they have scored four goals, which is as many as they managed in their appearances at the 2011 and 2015 editions combined.
Morocco are also in the hunt for vital points on matchday three, as they will be looking to book a spot in the round of 16. They will need a victory to stand the best chance, while a draw may also be enough if Germany are beaten by South Korea in their final match in Group H.
However, only one previous African nation has registered a win in their final match in the group stage at the World Cup. Prior to that win, each of the last African nations had conceded 14 goals. But, Morocco should be confident coming into this match after landing their first ever win at the competition in their previous match.
This will be the first time that Colombia and Morocco have locked horns at the Women’s World Cup. It will also be the first time that Morocco has faced a South American rival, and Colombia has come up a nation from the African region.
Morocco was excellent on matchday two, as they landed victory over South Korea. However, Colombia has been one of the teams to watch at the World Cup this summer, and it looks incredibly challenging to bet against the South American nation registering a third straight win to secure their spot as group winners.
