France vs Morocco Prediction & Betting tips
France and Morocco will face off in a fiery rematch of the 2022 semi-final, this time in the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, on Thursday, July 9, 2026, in Foxborough (Boston). The match promises to be a spectacular tactical duel between the offensive power of the French and the historic determination of the African team. The attacking trio of Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise will fully test the Moroccan defense organized around Achraf Hakimi and Chadi Riad. One of the most attractive individual duels on the pitch will be the one on the sideline, where friends and former club colleagues, Kylian Mbappé and Achraf Hakimi, will face each other directly. French midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni is unavailable for this match.
France:
Didier Deschamps’ national team has impressed with its consistency. In the round of 16, Les Bleus defeated Paraguay 1-0 thanks to a second-half penalty converted by Kylian Mbappé. Ousmane Dembélé is among the tournament’s top scorers, having already scored four goals.
