Sofyan Amrabat has made a name for himself on the global stage, becoming one of the players of the tournament, and will have another opportunity to shine. However, France have so much firepower together with a strong defence and should be too much for the African side to make their way to the final. Morocco, given the side of the bracket they have come from in the tournament draw, will be the ‘away’ side, with France the ‘home’ team. As we have seen, Morocco are not to be underestimated.

Mbappe went to the centre and it was him who created the goal, bursting past one defender and immediately drawing three into him. Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate came in for Upamecano and did well enough to keep his place for the final. He was unable to get a clean shot off but the deflected hit fell high and awkward at the back post for Hernandez and he finished beautifully, first time, with his left foot. When Morocco did find a way through the France press they were dangerous. He made the big substitute calls right bringing on Marcus Thuram and Kolo Muani, both influential in the latter stages of the game.

France are a different breed. This second semifinal clash will be played at the Al Bayt Stadium. The only way this pair of bets fails to return a profit is if either France fail to win in 90 minutes, or they concede more than once to Morocco. Most recently, we saw France coast through the first half against England, conceding long stretches of harmless possession. Morocco have swung slightly towards the first half as they defend with ferocity after the break, but they've also benefitted from opposing teams failing to convert chances. At the risk of doubting Morocco a third time, it's tough to imagine the Atlas Lions advancing to the World Cup final. It will take a Herculean effort to get past Morocco's organization and structure, but this is no green squad France possess. Therefore, we're no longer doubting the ability of this quasi-home team to perform. No consecutive World Cup finals in history have ever featured the same two teams. The next closest player on the expected assists chart is Jamal Musiala at 1.86. France, for all their offensive firepower, still can't overwhelm the organization of Morocco's defense which swings the under in heavy favor. Morocco sport a patchwork squad, beset with injuries, but the Atlas Lions have banded together to sport exceptional and surprising depth.
