France vs Morocco Prediction & Betting tips
Wednesday evening from 19:00, the second semi-final of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 will be played, where France, the champion four years ago, and Morocco, the surprise of this competition and the first national team from Africa to reach in the semifinals of a World Championship final tournament. The two teams have only met twice so far, the first meeting taking place in 1999 when France won 1-0 and the second meeting took place in 2007 and ended in a draw, score 2-2.
France:
France, at least until this moment, has respected its status as the favorite team to win the World Cup and has shown that it is very eager to defend the title it won four years ago in 2018. In the groups, France had no problems, achieving victories with Australia and Denmark, 4-1 and 2-1 and was defeated by Tunisia in the last match when it was qualified, score 1-0. In the round of 16, Poland did not pose too many problems to France, which managed to win 3-1. In the quarter-final against England, things were different, the match being a very tight one, in France they managed to win 2-1, after England missed a penalty that could have taken the match to extra time.
Morocco:
On the other hand, Morocco is undoubtedly the surprise of this competition, managing to overturn all calculations. Maybe since the final tournament in 2002, when South Korea and Turkey together managed to reach the semi-finals, there have been no such surprises. Morocco managed to win a group that also included Croatia, Belgium and Canada. In the round of 16, Morocco was expected to be a sure victim in the confrontation with Spain, but managed to qualify after kicks from the 11m. The same situation was in the quarter-finals, where Morocco met Portugal and everyone expected a semi-final between Cristiano Ronaldo and Mbape, but Morocco produced another surprise and won 1-0.
