Ranked 72nd in the world, Morocco Women will face the world number five, France Women in a Women's World Cup round of 16 encounter to be staged at the Hindmarsh Stadium on Tuesday.
Les Blues started off with a goalless draw against Jamaica but found their footing at the right time in order to beat Brazil 2-1 and overcome Panama 6-3 as Herve Renard's side finished atop Group F.
France will be particularly looking to better their performance after finishing as semi-finalists at the European Championships last year, while Morocco made it to the knockouts in their first-ever appearance at the Women's World Cup.
Reynald Pedros' side didn't lose hope following a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Germany in their opening game, as the Lionesses of Atlas kept clean sheets against both South Korea and Colombia in the 1-0 wins to finish second in Group H.

Team news & squads
France Women team news
The country's all-time top scorer, Eugenie Le Sommer, and captain Wendie Renard should be back in the XI after being rested in France's final group game at the tournament.
Renard also played it cautiously with Sakina Karchaoui, Sandie Toletti and Kenza Dali against Panama, as the trio was a booking away from a possible suspension.
The only other concern for the France boss to deal with is Maelle Lakrar's thigh issue.
France Women possible XI: Peyraud-Magnin; Perisset, Lakrar, Renard, Karchaoui; Toletti, Geyoro, Dali; Diani, Bacha, Le Sommer.
