France faces a major test against Morocco

The “Les Bleus” enter the match as the main favorites to secure a place among the four best teams in the world.

Didier Deschamps’ side have recorded a perfect run so far, winning all five of their matches.

France have scored 14 goals and conceded only two, while Kylian Mbappé has been outstanding, leading the race for the Golden Boot with seven goals.

He has received strong attacking support from Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise, and Bradley Barcola, while young Désiré Doué won the decisive penalty in the round of 16 against Paraguay.

On the other side stands a team that continues to push the boundaries of African football.

Morocco reached the quarter-finals unbeaten, collecting seven points in the group stage, then eliminating the Netherlands on penalties and comfortably defeating Canada 3-0.

The “Atlas Lions” are currently on a run of ten matches without defeat, and head coach Mohamed Ouahbi believes his team can achieve another major upset.

However, Morocco will be weakened by the absence of their top scorer, Ismael Saibari, who failed to recover from a hamstring injury in time for the quarter-final clash.

His place in attack is expected to be taken by Soufiane Rahimi.

Another major threat to the French defense will be Brahim Díaz, who has recorded four assists at this tournament and has been involved in as many as ten of Morocco’s goals this year.
