Meeting statistics

The current form of France

‘Les Bleus’ aren’t nearly ready to let go of the trophy. They won 2-1 over England in the quarter-finals to advance to the top 4. The French team’s goal scorers ultimately turned out to be Aurélien Tchouaméni and Olivier Giroud. The defending champions are on their way to becoming the first team to retain the World Cup title in 60 years.

In the quarter-finals, it was a thrilling battle between the two powerful sides, as was to be expected. Tchouaméni’s incredible long-range shot gave ‘Les Bleus’ the lead. The French defense stopped the English team’s chances when they presented themselves. In the second half, England had a strong start. Gareth Southgate’s team was awarded a penalty after Bukayo Saka was fouled. With a deft penalty kick that tricked Hugo Lloris, Harry Kane’s Tottenham teammate, his team tied the score. Later, the ‘Three Lions’ dropped some crucial chances.

With his spectacular header in the 78th minute, Giroud added to the French celebration. In the 84th minute, the ‘Three Lions’ were awarded another penalty, giving them a fantastic opportunity to tie the game once more. But this time, Kane mistimed his shot, as the ball flew beyond the bar and into a despondent throng of English supporters. In the end, France defeated England for the first time in a World Cup, and the English team was once again doomed to their usual fate.

France team’s stats

• Four of the first five World Cup games have been won by France. In the final game of the group stage, against Tunisia, there was one and only loss. The overall goal difference is 11-5.
• After the 60th minute in the second half, France scored 63.6% of its goals.
• In each of the first five World Cup games, the French team has given up one goal. In the second half, four of them were given up.

The current form of Morocco

At FIFA WC 2022, the Moroccan mayhem is still going strong. The last team to lose to them is Portugal in the quarter-finals. Walid Regragui’s team accomplished a historic milestone when they became the first country from Africa to reach the FIFA World Cup semi-finals. Morocco won the match because of Youssef En- Nesyri’s outstanding header in the 42nd minute, which was made possible by yet another faultless effort by the defense throughout the whole match.

The remarkable World Cup run of Morocco continued in the quarter-finals as well. Portugal simply couldn’t compete with the ‘Atlas Lions’ at the Al Thumama. Due to their outstanding defense, the Moroccans were able to withstand some early dominating spells from the Portuguese team. Just before halftime, the spectacular header of En-Nesyri gave Morocco the lead.

Portugal made a valiant effort to score an equalizer, but the Moroccan defense wall appeared impenetrable once more. Even the addition of ‘CR7’ to the starting lineup in the second half didn’t really change much. The Arab team was down to 10 men after Walid Cheddira’s dismissal in the third minute of the second half’s stoppage time. They tried too hard to make history, though, and ultimately received what they deserved.

Morocco team’s stats

• Morocco’s incredible success in Qatar has taken everyone by surprise. The Arab team has yet to lose in the World Cup. After playing a scoreless draw with Croatia to open their campaign, they have won 4 straight games. Up to this point, the Moroccans have maintained a 5-1 goal differential.
• In the first half of the World Cup games, more than 50% of the goals have been scored by Morocco.
• As of right now, the Moroccan defenders have been flawless. In the group stage, the lone goal allowed was an own goal against Canada.

Match analytics

The chances of Morocco taking more set pieces increase the greatest in the second half (60%) because they have demonstrated their ability to be lethal in them. However, we’ll give a slight advantage to France here given their experience in ‘sudden-death’ matches. In the first half, France is likely to score first, so…

We recommend: France to win the half-time (Half-Time Result – France) at odds of 2.20 on 18bet.
