With the United States and a few other top 10 teams out of the mix, France has a very real chance to win this year's Women's World Cup.

They'll face Morocco in the final Round of 16 match and they should have no problem advancing to the Quarterfinals. A Morocco win would go down as one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.

Don't believe me? Let's take a look at what oddsmakers think.

France vs. Morocco odds and total

France vs. Morocco prediction and pick

Morocco started their World Cup tournament with a 6-0 loss to Germany. Things went complete opposite for those two teams after that as Morocco went on to beat South Kora and Colombia, both by a final score of 1-0, to advance to the Group Stage.

While we have to tip our caps to them for pulling that off, I expect an extremely similar result to what we saw in their opening game against Germany.

Morocco ranks 22nd amongst all teams in expected goal differential per game at -0.33. Meanwhile, France comes in at third in that stat in expected goal differential per game at +1.61. They've also been an offensive juggernaut, averaging 2.67 goals per game.

France is going to run away with this one and win by multiple goals. Let's not overthink this match.
