France vs Morocco Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 14th December 2022

France are to battle against Morocco in the round of 4 of the World Cup at Al Bayt Stadium this coming Wednesday.

France head to their upcoming fixture against Morocco as number four in the FIFA world ranking. The latter rank as number 22 according to Fifa.

France are still on course to defend their title from 2018 as the first nation to do so since Brazil in 1962. They didn't budge at the sight of the first truly strong opponent when coming up against England. A missed penalty from Harry Kane could have taken the game into extra time and changed the course of the tournament completely.

In stead France are among the final four for the second World Cup in a row, looking seriously strong in a bid for a third World Cup title. In their way stands the greatest upset for many a year in World Cup history. As the first Arabic and African team Morocco have come though to the semifinal with perhaps the toughest route along their way.

They have been outsiders against Croatia, they were outsiders against Belgium. They were even bigger outsiders against Spain before coming up against Portugal in the Quarter-final. They have managed four clean sheets along the way to this contest against France, allowing only Canada to score. They will take some beating.
