The 2019 Women’s World Cup last 16 has been decided. Germany will begin their knockout stage campaign against Nigeria before Australia takes on Norway in what promises to be a close clash. Germany finished first in Group B and are big favorites to knock out Nigeria, who are making their first appearance in the last 16 since 1999. Australia has made it to the quarterfinals of the last three World Cups and will look to prevent Norway from reaching that stage for the third straight tournament.

It took Germany time to get up and running in France, but a 4-0 decimation of South Africa in their final group game should have helped boost morale heading into the last 16. Nigeria just got through to this stage after finishing as the lowest ranked third place finisher. They now face a near-impossible task in advancing after they scored in only one of their pool games. Sara Dabritz, Giulia Gwinn and captain Alexandra Popp have impressed so far for Die Nationalelf.

Samantha Kerr has been in top form for Australia thus far at the 2019 Women’s World Cup, scoring five times to take a joint lead as top scorer in the competition alongside Alex Morgan.
Due to goal differential, the Matildas came in second in Group C despite finishing level on points with Italy and Brazil. Norway lost 2-1 in a decisive battle against hosts France in Group A, but they’ll hope forward Isabell Herlovsen can build off her two-goal tally to lead an upset of the Aussies.
