France vs Morocco Match Preview:
It’s hard to get more of a David vs. Goliath matchup in a semifinal than this. France won the last World Cup and arguably has the most talented team on the planet. Morocco is the first African team to reach a World Cup semi-final.
That is not to say that Morocco has not played well in this tournament. The Atlas Lions have been particularly strong on the defensive end. Morocco have conceded just one goal in five games (which was an own goal against Canada) and have been dangerous on the counterattack at times.
Morocco’s defensive performances against Spain and Portugal were incredibly impressive, but France’s attack is next level. Kylian Mbappé was calm against England, but the French attack has many more options. Olivier Giroud stood out against England, and there are also Ousmane Dembele and Antoine Griezmann.
On the other hand, France has not been so convincing back. Les Bleus are still without a clean sheet and gave England every chance to stay in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
These two teams are completely different, but they have been nothing but consistent this tournament. France have conceded one goal in their five games at this World Cup and have scored more than one in the four games they started with their starting lineup.
Morocco has been the same defensively solid team that doesn’t have much of the ball but occasionally creates quick counterattacks.
Morocco left back Noussair Mazraoui and center-back Nayef Aguerd missed the Portugal game because of injuries, but Morocco’s defense remained strong.
However, Mazraoui is a big part of the team’s counter-attacking ability, so those injuries will be watched before Wednesday’s game.
The last defending champion to reach a semi-final (or final) was Brazil in 1998. That Brazil team lost to hosts France in the 1998 final. France is seeking its fourth appearance in a World Cup final.
France vs Morocco Prediction
France will surely start favorites against Morocco on Wednesday. However, they cannot take the Atlas Lions lightly. Deschamps’s men cannot relent at first looking at the solid defensive form of the Moroccans.
On the other hand, Morocco will seek to continue with the same strategy of frustrating the opposition with an impeccable defense. They have already given some of the best teams like Belgium, Spain and Portugal a lot of heartbreak. Now it’s time to take on the defending champions.
France having one of the best attacking teams in the World and will certainly be looking to put on a show, on the other hand Morocco have been irresistible defensively and will be looking to hold the French attack and not giving them much in this game.
Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses but we think France will get better of it’s opposition.
