France vs Morocco Preview and Team News
France Team News
Having reached the previous two World Cup finals, France are making swift progress towards another one. They’ve won all five games so far at this tournament. Their dazzling attacking play produced 13 goals across their opening four fixtures.
Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, and Michael Olise have linked up brilliantly to form a dangerous offensive trio. They have already contributed a combined total of nine goals and nine assists. However, Les Bleus needed to adapt against a defensive and very physical Paraguay side last time out.
Didier Deschamps’ team used a more patient style in possession and were quick to react whenever their opponents tried to launch counterattacks. A similar approach is likely here, with France always capable of producing one moment of quality in the final third.
They have fitness concerns over Marcus Thuram and Aurélien Tchouaméni, with midfielder Manu Koné expected to continue.
France predicted lineup vs Morocco (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Digne, Saliba, Upamecano, Koundé; Rabiot, Koné; Barcola, Olise, Dembélé; Mbappé.
Morocco Team News
After their stunning run to the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup, Morocco are no longer a surprise package. Composed displays against Brazil and the Netherlands have already shown they can still mix it with the stronger nations at this tournament.
The Atlas Lions were not at their best in the last round. They only registered five shots against a Canada side they were strong favorites to beat. Three of those efforts did end in goals, with their counterattacking soccer on the flanks ultimately rewarded with some clinical finishing, notably from Azzedine Ounahi, who scored twice.
Ounahi has the stamina to cover a lot of ground, and he plays a key role in linking the midfield and attack. However, Morocco’s offensive plans for this game have been hit by a significant blow. Ismael Saibari, who scored in every group match, is listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury, so Soufiane Rahimi may be drafted in to lead the line.
Morocco predicted lineup vs France (4-2-3-1): Bono; Mazraoui, Riad, Diop, Hakimi; El Aynaoui, Bouaddi; El Khannouss, Ounahi, Brahim; Rahimi.
France vs Morocco Prediction
- Pick: France to win
- Odds: -157 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: France 1-0 Morocco
These sides met at the semifinal stage in 2022, with France winning 2-0. Les Bleus did benefit from scoring after just five minutes on that occasion, which made it difficult for Morocco to play in their usual conservative style. Four years later, Deschamps’ team should face a tougher test, but their extra individual quality could still settle this contest.
Mbappé has excelled with seven goals in five outings to take his overall World Cup tally to 19 in just three tournaments. Meanwhile, Olise has been the most creative player at this competition, with five assists.
Morocco should be more effective than Paraguay in transitions. However, they will still likely struggle to find space behind a strong French central defensive pairing of William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano.
France vs Morocco Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score – No
- Odds: -117 (20Bet)
Across their opening two knockout fixtures, France have only faced three shots on target and allowed just one big chance. They have the defensive stability to complement their dynamic attack, which helps explain why they are the outright favorites to win this World Cup.
This is likely to be their most difficult test yet, with Morocco’s defense capable of surviving spells of heavy pressure. In 2026, the Atlas Lions have only conceded 0.50 goals per game in regulation time, which points to a tight quarterfinal clash.
