France defeated England to advance to the World Cup Semi-Finals in Qatar in 2022, as many predicted. Morocco, their opponents, have been the tournament's surprise package, and each time they are written off, they upset the odds and live to fight another day, but can they beat the world champions and become the first African team to reach a World Cup final?
We expect this game to be tight and tense throughout, with a final score of 0-0 or 1-1 being the most likely outcome. France has yet to keep a single clean sheet at the World Cup, which will be a concern, but Morocco doesn't offer much going forward but has kept four clean sheets in their five matches in Qatar, which explains why we expect this game to be low-scoring. The pressure will be on France, and the game against England demonstrated that it is possible to keep Mbappe quiet and limit France's attacking threats.
