France vs. Morocco Prediction

• Where: Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor, Qatar
• When: Wednesday, December 13, 10 pm local time

France was expected in the semis, but for sure, Morocco wasn’t. They are the first African team to reach the final four at the World Cup and will be remembered forever after doing such an astonishing achievement. Meanwhile, the Gauls are on the quest to win one more title, their third, and become only the third team ever to win back-to-back World Cup trophies.

France vs. Morocco Preview

France

The Gauls played their worst game of the tournament against England and still managed to beat and eliminate one of the biggest rivals and biggest contenders for the throne. A 2-1 triumph over the Three Lions wasn’t confident at all, because England had a chance to level the score, yet Harry Kane missed a penalty.

The attack is the biggest power of the Gauls, as this unit scored at least two goals in four of five matches played in Qatar, and that single one in which France didn’t do it was against Tunisia. Back then, there was no competitive motive for Mbappe and the boys to win.

PSG’s striker has five goals scored, but the most important link on the team is Antoine Griezmann, who needs to be credited as the most influential of all France’s players. He is the glue that connects the entire team and a true playmaker.

Morocco

The team from Africa’s north did the unthinkable. They are among the top four teams in the world, and we are pretty sure that less than one percent of the audience expected to see them at this stage. 

Their impregnable defense has been the main reason for seeing the Moroccans in the semis, as they allowed a single goal in this tournament. Let us remind you that they faced Croatia, Belgium, Canada, Spain, and Portugal. There isn’t too much beauty in their game, but on the other side, the battle and passion are all over the place.

Morocco hasn’t lost in the past 12 games, counting in the World Cup and other events, and during that stretch, they recorded nine clean sheets, which is another proof of their magnificent power in the back line.

France vs. Morocco Head-to-Head Games

The previous clash France and Morocco had was in 2007, when we saw a draw, 2-2. The one before that happened in 1999, and then the World champs, France, won 1-0.

France vs. Morocco Prediction

It seems that the Moroccan dream came to an end here. France is way better at dealing with tough defensive blocks and teams that always defend. Also, the fact that plenty of Moroccan players play in France is a convenience that the Gauls will take advantage of while making a game plan.

Our verdict: France wins
