A late penalty from Eugenie Le Sommer gave France all three points against Norway in the second game, after a comical own goal from Wendie Renard had levelled the scores.

But, over their 180 minutes of football at this tournament, France have largely looked serene in their progress, with a series of standout individual performances from players across the pitch.

Left-back Amel Majri has had a stunning start to the tournament, wuth her energy and quality of crossing. Captain Amandine Henry has bossed the midfield, Renard has been a rock at the back, while Le Sommer has scored goals as she always does.

A point for Nigeria, on the other hand, should guarantee them a spot in the next round, as one of the best third-placed teams, and they could even sneak into second place, should Korea pull off a massive shock by beating Norway.

On the night, though, the hosts should just have too much quality for the African side.

Prediction: Nigeria 0-3 France
