France have been dominant in this World Cup and they should see off Morocco without too much trouble. Five wins from five games tell the story, with 14 goals scored and just two conceded so far.
Their latest result was a 1-0 win over Paraguay in the round of 16. Before that came a 3-0 victory against Sweden, plus group stage wins of 4-1 over Norway, 3-0 against Iraq and 3-1 versus Senegal. Kylian Mbappe scored the penalty in that last-16 tie and remains the standout attacker, supported by Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and Bradley Barcola who netted against Sweden.
Morocco arrive unbeaten in six World Cup matches, with three wins and three draws. They beat Canada 3-0 on July 4, drew 1-1 with the Netherlands on June 30 before advancing on penalties, and earlier posted a 4-2 win over Haiti plus a 1-0 result against Scotland. Mohamed Ounahi scored in the Canada game while Achraf Hakimi continues to stand out as their main threat.
This quarterfinal at Boston Stadium on July 9 is a rematch of the 2022 semifinal. France sit as heavy favorites after their perfect record so far. Morocco will want revenge but they face a side that has looked clinical in every round.
Expect France to control possession and create the better chances. Their attack has clicked consistently while the defense has kept things tight. Morocco have shown resilience but they haven't faced this level of attacking quality yet in the tournament.
