With the most eye-catching and convincing football of the World Cup so far, France is betting on its leading players to reach the semi-finals. Olise has been one of the highlights of this team, besides, of course, Mbappé. The number 10 has shown in each game why he is emerging as the main player in this World Cup.
On the other hand, Morocco arrives with the authority of having eliminated the Netherlands in the round of 32 stage. They had no difficulty getting past Canada in the round of 16, but could be without one of their main players. Saibari, injured, is doubtful for the clash.
Among Morocco's highlights are full-back Hakimi and goalkeeper Bono. Hakimi even plays for a French team, Paris Saint-Germain, current European champions.
This match is a repeat of what happened in the semi-final of the last World Cup, in Qatar. On that occasion, France won 2-0, goals from Theo Hernández and Kolo Muani. Hernández is in the squad for this World Cup, but Muani was not called up.
