France favoured to defeat Morocco in World Cup quarterfinal
France is expected to win the quarter-final match against Morocco, with analysts predicting a 2-0 result and fewer than 2.5 goals in the game.
France enters its World Cup quarter-final against Morocco as the tournament favourite, with several analysts citing the depth of its attacking options, including Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. The French side has conceded only two goals throughout the competition and has recorded multiple victories over teams such as Senegal, Iraq and Sweden.
Morocco, which reached the semi-finals in the previous World Cup, has progressed with a draw against Brazil and wins over Scotland, Haiti, the Netherlands (on penalties) and Canada. The team’s most recent encounter with France ended in a 2-0 French win.
"France still has too much for Morocco to handle," one commentator said, adding that a low-scoring outcome is likely.
Betting markets reflect this outlook, with odds favouring a French victory and an under-2.5-goals total for the match.
