Morocco Women vs Jamaica Women Prediction
Both sides have struggled for consistency in the last few months, with Jamaica winning just one of their last seven friendlies.
They also failed to make a mark at the Caribbean Games, conceding 13 times in three games. Their defensive solidity will have to be improved upon as they prepare to face significantly tougher opposition.
Morocco, meanwhile, have been more defensively resolute, but they have also been toothless in attack, having failed to find the back of the net in their last four games. The North Africans will be making their World Cup debut and have proven their mettle by getting consecutive goalless draws against Switzerland and Italy.
Morocco should share the spoils in a third consecutive goalless stalemate.
Prediction: Morocco 0-0 Jamaica
