Germany have been in fine form lately. They have won all of their last six matches. The Germans were also crowned the European Champions in the UEFA Under-17 Women’s Championship held earlier this year, defeating Spain on penalties in the final. Undoubtedly, Germany are considered as one of the favourites and will be eager to prove that right.
Nigeria face a uphill task against a very dominant German side. The nation has qualified for the World Cup on five out of the previous six editions. However, they are still to taste the glory of lifting the coveted World Cup trophy. Nigeria have a promising squad which has travelled to India and will be determined to put on a show.
With this being the first match of the tournament, it won’t be a surprise if both the teams come out to the field with their strongest XIs. That will be the first step in going forward to get all the three points.
