Tonight’s FIFA World Cup semifinal between Morocco and France will be their first; it will be France’s sixth. Current champions France have seemed to be in great shape ever since the FIFA World Cup 2022 got underway.
They have won all the games thus far except for the Tunisia game. Morocco became the first country from Africa to reach the World Cup semifinals after defeating Portugal’s team 1-0.
France vs Morocco Preview
France Team
Compared to other defending champions in the old days, France has seemed to be in great shape for consecutive world championships. They have Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappe, two footballers who are heavy favourites to win the Golden Boot. Additionally, Giroud has recorded the most goals overall for France. France should have no issue beating Morocco to advance to the finals for a second straight year.
Morocco Team
The Portuguese were added to Morocco’s list of European opponents because of their determined comeback win in the quarterfinals. Morocco had a terrific day in its final match after defeating Belgium and Spain in the World Cup on kicks. They gain from playing France close to home as well. Their incredibly defensive strategy has been effective thus far.
