World Cup · Quarter-finalsFrance vs Morocco Preview
France head into this World Cup quarter-final in devastating form, winning all five of their tournament matches so far and scoring 14 goals in the process. Kylian Mbappé's penalty secured a tight 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the Round of 16, and Didier Deschamps became the first manager to win 10 World Cup knockout ties. Aurélien Tchouaméni missed that match with a thigh problem but is expected to return here.
Morocco arrive in Boston riding a remarkable 34-match unbeaten run across all competitions, a streak spanning 25 wins and eight draws. Their 3-0 demolition of co-hosts Canada was emphatic, with Azzedine Ounahi grabbing a brace and Soufiane Rahimi adding a third. The major concern is top scorer Ismael Saibari, who limped off early against Canada with a hamstring injury and faces a race against time to be fit for this quarter-final clash.
France's five consecutive wins in this tournament tell the full story of a side firing on all cylinders, with 14 goals scored and an expected goals tally of 10.6 reinforcing their attacking potency. Les Bleus have won 18 of 21 World Cup knockout matches across their history. The home win at 1.62 reflects an implied probability around 61%, which feels justified given that pedigree.
Morocco's 34-match unbeaten run is remarkable, and their 3-0 demolition of Canada showed real quality, with Azzedine Ounahi particularly impressive. However, the potential absence of top scorer Ismael Saibari through a hamstring injury could blunt their attacking threat. France won this exact fixture 2-0 at the 2022 semi-final stage, and Didier Deschamps knows precisely how to set up against the Atlas Lions.
Kylian Mbappe remains the tournament's most dangerous forward, and his penalty winner against Paraguay underlined his composure in high-stakes moments. With Aurelien Tchouameni expected to return to midfield, France regain control in a crucial area. The value sits with the home win at 1.62, supported by over 2.5 goals at N/A given France's prolific scoring rate throughout the competition.
