France - Morocco: prediction and bet on the World Cup 2022 in Qatar
vitalkoWe have compiled a prediction for you for the match France - Morocco in the 1/2 finals of the playoffs of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. In the 1/4, France defeated England (2:1), while Morocco continued to create sensations and won Portugal (1:0).
France national team - Mbappe and Giroud take their team to another championship
France is ranked 4th in the FIFA rankings and 5th in the UEFA rankings. Remember how the tournament began for the French, a lot of injuries, a lot of players dropped out, but still a slot in the semi-final for France.
France in the group stage defeated Australia (4:1), Denmark (2:1), lost to Tunisia (0:1). In the playoffs, 1/8 ended in favor of the French against Poland (3:1), 1/4 also in favor of France against England (2:1).
The trend continues with France conceding every match but scoring almost every match, the only failure was against Tunisia. France's top scorer is Kylian Mbappe (5 goals), followed by Olivier Giroud (4 goals), Adrien Rabiot and Aurélien Tchouameny one each.
France in this match as a favorite, although Morocco delivered problems to many top teams - at this stage the miracle should end.
The Morocco national team is a strong team in physical terms, the main surprise of the tournament
Morocco is ranked 22nd in the FIFA rankings. In the group stage, the Moroccans tied with Croatia (0:0), which are now in the semi-finals. Managed to defeat Belgium (2:0), Canada (2:1), Spain (0:0 regular time; 3:0 on penalties), Portugal (1:0).
Morocco's top scorer is Youssef En-Neseri (2 goals), Zakaria Abouhlal, Romain Saissa and Hakim Ziyech have one goal each. Of the assistants, I would mention Ziyesh, Hakimi, Abdelhamid Sabiri and Yahya Attiyat-Allah with one assist.
Morocco has already come a long way, few people expected such a result from them even at the end of the group stage. It seems that there are not so many famous players in the squad, but it turned out to pass both Spain and Portugal, which were favorites.
France v Morocco: bet on World Cup 2022 in Qatar
For me and many, the French look like favorites. Morocco, although it has reached this stage, has very little chance against the current France, even with replacements. And Hakimi knows very well how to play against Mbappe and vice versa, they have been playing in the same team for a long time and know each other's strengths and weaknesses well. Here the question is in the performers, at this stage it is decided by the nature of the team. Morocco showed a cool game with both Portugal and Spain, while France defeated only England from the top teams, and then everything could change there if Kane scored from the penalty spot.
The Moroccans need to think about how to stop not only Mbappe, but also the midfield and not forget about Giroud. At this stage, there are no favorites, but France is definitely stronger than Morocco in terms of names. I spoke similarly with Spain and Portugal and it all broke down on the final result. Morocco will play defensively and catch their chances on counterattacks.
Of the interesting outcomes for the match France - Morocco, I would note the following outcomes:
- France win in regular time at 1.55
- Total over 1.5 for 1.44
- France win by 2 goals at 2.65
