But there&#8217;s still two more games to be win. France remain perfect at the World Cup, winning all of their five games so far. After finishing top of their group, France went up against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/sweden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sweden<\/a> in the round-of-32, beating their European rivals 3-0. Things were a lot tougher in the last-16 and France had to battle for their 1-0 win over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/paraguay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paraguay<\/a>, courtesy of a Kylian Mbappe penalty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morocco are also looking to keep a streak going. They reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2022, becoming the first African side to reach that stage. It would be even more historic to become the first African nation to reach the World Cup semi-final twice, let alone in consecutive tournaments. They were in a tough group but finished second, setting up a last-32 tie against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/netherlands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Netherlands<\/a>. Morocco kept their hopes alive with a late equaliser, eventually beating the <em>Oranje<\/em> on penalties. Morocco then beat co-hosts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/canada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canada<\/a> 3-0 in the last-16, thanks to a fine second-half display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be the ninth game between these two sides, and the first since the 2022 World Cup. <em>Les Bleus<\/em> beat Morocco in the semi-finals four years ago, before finishing as runners-up.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-toplist\">\n        <div class=\"sq-toplist__items\">\n\t\t\t    <div\n            class=\"sq-toplist__item\"\n            data-entity-id=\"1381273\"\n            data-offer-id=\"1381470\"\n    >\n\t\t        <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-container\">\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"logo\" class=\"sq-toplist__logo\" style=\"background:#01644a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/29162841\/bet365.svg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Bet365 Logo\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer-box\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__bookmaker\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"brand_name\">bet365<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-tablet-visible\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Use code SQUAWKA365 and bet \u00a310 to get \u00a330 in free bets<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-mobile-visible\">\n                    <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Use code SQUAWKA365 and bet \u00a310 to get \u00a330 in free bets<\/a>                <\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"cta\" class=\"sq-btn sq-btn--secondary sq-btn--full\">Claim Offer<\/a>                <div class=\"sq-rating\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__text\">Our Score<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__value\">9.5<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/bet365-review\/\" class=\"sq-review-link\">\n                    <span>Read our review<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t        <ul class=\"sq-toplist__features\">\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Bet \u00a310 get \u00a330<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Excellent Football Betting Options<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Extensive Bet-Builder<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Multi-Award Winning Bookmaker<\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t            <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-tc\"><p>New customers can sign up using bonus code SQUAWKA365, bet \u00a310 and get \u00a330 in Free Bets.

Kone is likely to keep his spot in the team, having started three of France&#8217;s games so far. Adrien Rabiot has started four out of five, so should continue to partner Kone in the double pivot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There may be a change in attack, though. Bradley Barcola didn&#8217;t have the most-productive game against Paraguay, though France&#8217;s attack wasn&#8217;t given too many opportunities. He was replaced on the hour-mark by Desire Doue, who eventually won the winning penalty. Doue may get the nod, having alternated the left-wing role with Barcola. Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele will join him in the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deschamps looks to have found his favoured defensive setup. Mike Maignan will continue in goal, with Dayot Upamecano and William Saliba at centre-back. Lucas Digne looks to have overtaken Theo Hernandez as France&#8217;s first-choice left-back, while Jules Kounde appears unrivalled on the right. That back five have started three of France&#8217;s five matches so far.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Bet \u00a310 &amp; Get \u00a330 in Free Bets with Bet365<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to bet365 yet?

Despite booking their spot in the quarter-finals, Morocco lost Ismael Saibari early due to injury and he&#8217;s a doubt for this clash. Soufiane Rahimi was the one to replace him &#8212; ahead of Ayoub El Kaabi &#8212; and he could lead the line here. The rest of the attacking line should stay the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Azzedine Ounahi was the goalscoring hero against Canada, netting twice from the No.10. He&#8217;ll be flanked by Brahim Diaz and Bilal El Khannouss, looking to probe a stern France defence. Morocco have had a set double pivot across the World Cup so far, with Ayyoub Bouaddi and Neil El Aynaoui starting four of their five matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chadi Riad missed the win over Canada through injury and was replaced by Redouane Halhal. But he is likely to return to partner Issa Diop at the heart of Morocco&#8217;s defence. Achraf Hakimi and Noussair Mazraoui will be the full-backs, with Yassine Bounou in goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-france-vs-morocco-predicted-lineups\">France vs Morocco predicted lineups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>France (4-2-3-1):<\/strong> Maignan; Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Digne; Rabiot, Kone; Dembele, Olise, Doue; Mbappe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morocco (4-2-3-1):<\/strong> Bounou; Hakimi, Diop, Riad, Mazraoui; El Aynaoui, Bouaddi; Diaz, Ounahi, El Khannouss; Rahimi.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/world-cup-2026-betting-tips-predictions\/\"><strong>World Cup predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/world-cup-outright-odds\/\"><strong>World Cup outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/world-cup-2026-fixtures-results\/\"><b>World Cup fixtures &amp; results<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/world-cup-2026-betting-offers\/\"><b>World Cup free bets<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France and Morocco face off in the 2026 World Cup on Thursday at 9pm (UK time) with a spot in the semi-finals on the line.
