France vs Morocco Preview

France are the favourites to win the 2026 World Cup, having won all five of their matches en route to the quarter-finals. But Didier Deschamps' side face arguably their biggest challenge yet against a Morocco team enjoying a remarkable 34 game unbeaten run, which includes holding their nerve to see of the Netherlands on penalties in the round of 32 before cruising to a 3-0 victory over co-hosts Canada last time out.

This fixture rekindles memories of the 2022 World Cup semi-final, when Morocco made history by becoming the first African side to reach the last four, before France ended their memorable run with a 2-0 victory.

Les Bleus are 4/7 favourites to progress inside 90 minutes on Thursday, while Morocco are available at 11/2 to pull off an upset, with the draw is priced at 3/1.

Kylian Mbappe is right in the mix for the Golden Boot with seven goals in five games, one behind frontrunner Lionel Messi. Mbappe has scored three braces so far this tournament, then netted the only goal of the game in the 1-0 last-32 victory over Paraguay. The Frenchman is priced at 10/3 to break the deadlock in Foxborough, and 10/11 to score anytime.

Also keep an eye on Morocco's Brahim Diaz, who has four assists in five games this tournament, and looks an appealing price at 10/1 to register another assist on Thursday.
