France - Morocco: Form Analysis
It's Morocco who are the unbeaten team in this match. Over 90 minutes, they have won three of their games with the other two being drawn. Two of their five matches have ended goalless after 90 minutes with Morocco only having scored five goals in this tournament. That's the same number that Kylian Mbappe has scored for France in this World Cup. Their strength is at the other end of the pitch. Just one goal has been conceded by them in five games and that was an own goal scored by Aguerd. Morocco are unbeaten in their last 10 internationals with just that own goal scored against them in the last nine.
France have lost one of their five matches played in this 2022 World Cup. That was against another African side but they fielded a much-weakened team against Tunisia. Four of their five matches in Qatar have been won but they are yet to keep a clean sheet. France have scored at least twice in each of their four wins in this tournament. They are the defending champions and in World Cup matches have now lost just one of their last 12 matches. Before the loss to Tunisia, their last World Cup loss to a non-European team was to South Africa 12 years ago.

France & Morocco Squad Analysis
Morocco have several injury worries ahead of this World Cup semi-final. Nayef Aguerd and Noussair Mazraoui didn't play against Portugal and Romain Saiss only lasted 50 minutes in that game. Mazraooui could be fit for this game and Aguerd also has a chance of returning to the starting line-up. Definitely out is Walid Cheddira who is suspended and Saiss is not expected to play either. France had injury problems before and at the start of this tournament. They come into this semi-final with no fresh injury problems and are likely to field an unchanged line-up.
France - Morocco Key Points
- France have one loss in their last 12 World Cup games.
- France have scored twice in each of their four wins in this tournament.
- France haven't lost to Morocco since 1963.
- France have won four of their last five matches.
- France have won their last three World Cup semi-finals.

Our France vs Morocco Prediction
France are the heavy favorites to win this match. They are the defending champions and have so much more experience of playing in the latter stages of tournaments. The French were a tad lucky to beat England in the quarter finals. They have won four of their five matches in this tournament and the other can be ignored as they played a weakened team. Mbappe and Giroud will be a handful for Morocco and that excellent defensive record of theirs may be about to come to an end.
It has been an impressive run by Morocco. Wins over Belgium, Spain and Portugal would make any country proud. While they are not that prolific up front, they will still create problems for the defending world champions. Can they maintain their impressive defensive record is the big question here. France have scored at least twice in each of their four wins in this World Cup. Mbappe has the same number of goals as the entire Moroccan team. With Morocco having injury and suspension problems, this looks too stiff a task for them. Our France v Morocco prediction is that the French team can put their experience to good use here and get the win that will again see them in the World Cup final.
