The quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup get underway on Thursday evening with France taking on Morocco in Boston. The match will kick off at 9:00pm (UK Time) and you can find our France vs Morocco bet builder tips below, featuring Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise.
Follow Mbappe in the shots on target market
Kylian Mbappe has been one of the standout performers at the 2026 World Cup. The Frenchman has scored seven goals to move level with Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race. The 27-year-old continues to shoot at every opportunity. He is averaging 5.2 efforts per game and registering at least three shots on target in four of his five appearances.
Mbappe recorded four shots on target against Senegal, four against Sweden, four against Paraguay and three against Iraq. Given his current form, he should enjoy plenty of opportunities against a Morocco side that managed only five shots in 90 minutes against Canada. At 13/8, backing Mbappe to record three or more shots on target looks a perfectly palatable price.
Side with Olise in the assist market
Michael Olise has established himself as France’s main creative outlet at the 2026 World Cup. The Bayern Munich playmaker has already provided five assists, more than any other player at the tournament. His vision and passing have been central to Les Bleus’ attacking success throughout the tournament.
Olise has consistently found pockets of space between the lines and continues to supply chances for Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele. If Les Bleus maintain that level of attacking threat, the Bayern Munich playmaker looks well placed to register another assist against Morocco.
