France vs Morocco

All the information regarding the Qatar World Cup 2022 semi-final match between France and Morocco.

Sofyan Amrabat has made a name for himself on the global stage, becoming one of the players of the tournament, and will have another opportunity to shine. However, France have so much firepower together with a strong defence and should be too much for the African side to make their way to the final. Morocco, given the side of the bracket they have come from in the tournament draw, will be the ‘away’ side, with France the ‘home’ team. As we have seen, Morocco are not to be underestimated. Before that, they topped the group beating Belgium and Canada, as well as drawing with fellow semi-finalists, Croatia. Morocco

Holders France take on first-time semi-finalists Morocco for a place in the final.

His shot was deflected but it fell perfectly at the back post to Kolo Muani, the Eintracht Frankfurt striker who had been on the pitch just 44 seconds, to score the second. Mbappe went to the centre and it was him who created the goal, bursting past one defender and immediately drawing three into him. Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate came in for Upamecano and did well enough to keep his place for the final. He was unable to get a clean shot off but the deflected hit fell high and awkward at the back post for Hernandez and he finished beautifully, first time, with his left foot. When Morocco did find a way through the France press they were dangerous. He made the big substitute calls right bringing on Marcus Thuram and Kolo Muani, both influential in the latter stages of the game. For Morocco, this had been an exceptional effort from the likes of Amrabat, Hakim Ziyech and Sofiane Boufal. Four years earlier, he scored twice in the second half of France’s 4-3 win over Argentina in the second round of the 2018 World Cup finals. Their plans to sit in that 4-5-1 formation and wait for their opportunities were turned upside down by the fifth minute French goal, brilliantly taken by the full-back Theo Hernandez. By the second half Morocco were obliged to go on the front foot.

Defending champions against underdog challenger, a true David vs. Golaith meeting as France, the 2018 title holders take on Morocco, the first African ...

France are a different breed. This second semifinal clash will be played at the Al Bayt Stadium. The only way this pair of bets fails to return a profit is if either France fail to win in 90 minutes, or they concede more than once to Morocco. Most recently, we saw France coast through the first half against England, conceding long stretches of harmless possession. Morocco have swung slightly towards the first half as they defend with ferocity after the break, but they've also benefitted from opposing teams failing to convert chances. At the risk of doubting Morocco a third time, it's tough to imagine the Atlas Lions advancing to the World Cup final. It will take a Herculean effort to get past Morocco's organization and structure, but this is no green squad France possess. Therefore, we're no longer doubting the ability of this quasi-home team to perform. No consecutive World Cup finals in history have ever featured the same two teams. The next closest player on the expected assists chart is Jamal Musiala at 1.86. France, for all their offensive firepower, still can't overwhelm the organization of Morocco's defense which swings the under in heavy favor. Morocco sport a patchwork squad, beset with injuries, but the Atlas Lions have banded together to sport exceptional and surprising depth.

The defending World Cup champions are just one step away from once again playing for the trophy as France have advanced to the semifinals at Qatar 2022.
