This feels like the first real heavyweight test of France’s World Cup.
Morocco have become one of the toughest teams in international football to beat. They defend brilliantly, frustrate elite opponents and have already shown at this tournament they can compete with anyone. But this France side looks the most complete team left in the competition.
I expect another tense battle, but I still think Les Bleus have enough quality to reach the semi-finals.

France To Win
France have looked like the standout team at this World Cup.
We’ve scored 14 goals in five matches and, even when Paraguay made life incredibly difficult in the Round of 16, we stayed patient and found a way through. That’s what champions do.
Morocco are an outstanding defensive side, but I still trust France to find the decisive moment.
Kylian Mbappe Anytime Goalscorer
Mbappe keeps delivering.
He’s scored seven goals in five starts, while also hitting the post and having another ruled out for offside. When France need a big moment, he’s still the player everyone looks towards.
I’d be surprised if he doesn’t add to his tally tonight.
Kylian Mbappe 3+ Shots On Target
The volume is incredible.
Mbappe is averaging 5.2 shots per game and has registered at least three shots on target in four of his five World Cup appearances, including four against Senegal, Sweden and Paraguay.
With 17 shots on target in his last 5 games, I fully expect him to keep testing the goalkeeper – even against Morocco’s defence.
Michael Olise 1+ Assist
Olise has quietly become France’s chief creator.
No player at this World Cup has more than his five assists, and his understanding with Mbappe and Dembele gets better every game.
If France score, there’s every chance Olise supplies the final ball.
Soufiane Rahimi Anytime Goalscorer
I don’t think Morocco leave Boston without creating chances.
With Ismael Saibari ruled out, even more responsibility falls on Rahimi. He came off the bench to score against Canada in the Round of 16 and now becomes Morocco’s main attacking outlet.
If the Atlas Lions find a breakthrough, Rahimi is the man I expect to provide it.
Camille’s Prediction
I don’t think this will be another France goal-fest.
Morocco are simply too organised for that, but France have looked the most formidable side in the tournament and I believe we’ll eventually break them down.
Predicted score: France 2-1 Morocco
