World Cup<\/a> drama carries on! The first quarter-final battle starts tonight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

France will face Morocco after both teams showcased excellent competitive capacity in North America.<\/span><\/p>\n

The French national team steps into this duel with a perfect record of 5 wins.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Moroccan squad, on the other hand, might not have a perfect score like the French, but they absolutely proved their capability to beat any opponent.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 2022 World Cup, France and Morocco collided in the semi-finals. Back then, France beat Morocco 2-0. Therefore, this will be a perfect opportunity for Morocco to avenge its defeat against the French squad.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are expecting a very physical, high-tempo match in which both teams will try to score the opening goal and then to keep the lead till the very end of the 90 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

France<\/b><\/h2>\n

France opened the World Cup 2026 group stage with a victory over Senegal by 3-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, in their second match, France faced Iraq and won the game by 3-0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their last group stage duel was against Norway. And again, France showed their prowess and won the match by 4-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

After winning the first position in Group I, France played against Sweden and won the opening elimination match by 3-0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their last victory in the knockouts was over the tough team of Paraguay by scoring a penalty in the 70th minute (1-0).<\/span><\/p>\n

This evening, the French squad is facing another tough duel. Therefore, they’ll try to score an early goal and try to make the rest of the match under their control.<\/span><\/p>\n

Morocco<\/b><\/h2>\n

Morocco made a statement draw in their World Cup 2026 opening match. Namely, they faced the famous team of Brazil and played a duel with a final score of 1-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was followed by a victory over Scotland by 1-0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, in their third group stage challenge, Morocco faced Haiti and won the game with a scoreline of 4-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

After finishing second in Group C, the Moroccans faced in the knockouts against the Netherlands. The scoreline after the regular 90 minutes was 1-1. The extra time was goalless. But in the penalty roulette, Morocco did a better job (3-2) and won the match.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the \u215b finals, Morocco faced the hosting squad of Canada. In this game, Morocco dominated the match and won convincingly 3-0.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the Moroccans are aware that they are facing one of the favorites for the title. So they\u2019ll set a solid formation and show their absolute best at Gillette Stadium to make a sensational win over France.<\/span><\/p>\n

Verdict<\/b><\/h2>\n

France<\/b> has looked like the most complete team in the tournament so far, winning all five of its matches while combining attacking quality with defensive discipline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Morocco<\/b>, however, has already shown it can frustrate top opponents and won’t be intimidated after eliminating the Netherlands and Canada on the way to the quarter-finals.<\/span><\/p>\n

This promises to be a tense and tactical contest rather than a high-scoring spectacle. France’s experience in major knockout matches could prove decisive, but Morocco has the organization and resilience to keep the game close for long periods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We expect a physical battle with few clear-cut opportunities, making the <\/span>Double Chance And Both Teams To Score \u2013 12 & No<\/b><\/a> selection an appealing option at <\/span>2.35<\/b> boosted odds.<\/span><\/p>\n
