Bet of the day
France vs Morocco
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Reason for my Prediction
Morocco has the best defensive record in this world cup as they have conceived only one goal since the beginning of this tournament.
They will tighten their defense once again against an attacking minded France but even if goals should come in this, it should be a low scoring affair.
France to build on their win against England
France defeated England 2-1 on Saturday night to advance to the World Cup semifinals for the seventh time in their history.
After Harry Kane initially equalized from the penalty spot, he missed his second chance of the game shortly after Olivier Giroud had scored what ultimately proved to be the game-winning goal.
An early long range goal from Aurelien Tchouameni and an Olivier Giroud header sealed the victory.
Morrocco Makes History
In addition to reaching their first World Cup semifinal in history, Morocco also made history by becoming the first African team to do so.
This was accomplished by them defeating Portugal 1-0 over the weekend, with Youssef En-Nesyri of Sevilla scoring the game’s lone goal.
France Team News
France is expected to start with the same squad as when they defeated England because they have no injury issues.
Morrocco Team News
Hakim Ziyech was forced to leave the match against Portugal due to an injury, but that was probably only a precaution and he is expected start in this one.
Late in the Portugal game, Walid Cheddira was sent off after receiving two yellow cards.
Conclusion
It is reasonable that Morocco has progressed this far because they have the greatest defensive record at the competition this year, but given the talent and experience of France and the injuries to key players, expect the defending champions to push for a win but that may come in a low scoring form.
