The 2026 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinals begin today, as France and Morocco meet in Foxborough this afternoon. Now, these teams are plenty familiar with each other, as they went head to head in the 2022 World Cup Semifinals. In that match, France defeated Morocco by a score of 2-0. The French scored just five minutes into the match, never looked back, and even added an insurance goal later in the contest. Will Morocco be able to enact their long awaited revenge tonight? Or do the tournament favorites roll to the semifinals? Find out with our favorite picks.

France vs. Morocco FIFA World Cup Betting Insights
Ousmane Dembele and France are one win away from a third straight World Cup Semifinals
When evaluating these two teams, they come out about even, although I'd be stupid not to give a slight offensive nod to the French side. They have so many options at attack, and so far they have been working together to put up as many goals as possible. However, they face their toughest test of the tournament this afternoon.
During this tournament, France has beaten Senegal (No. 18), Iraq (No. 63), Sweden (No. 37) and Paraguay (No. 34). They also beat Norway (No. 19), but they faced their reserves. Point being, France has really only seen one top 20 team in the world so far this tournament, arguably just one top 30 squad. Morocco has been much more battle tested, and I think that shows this afternoon on the field.

France vs. Morocco FIFA World Cup Picks
Ismael Saibari and Morocco face France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinals this afternoon
Best Bet: Morocco +0.5 (+145) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook
Morocco is listed at +1 for (-122). Instead of paying that juice for push potential, I'll take it out of the equation and sacrifice the push for a plus sign. I think Morocco is more than capable of earning a draw after 90 minutes, which would. cash our +145 wager. We already laid out who France has faced, now let's look at Morocco.
The Moroccans had to face Brazil (No. 5) in the group stage, along with Scotland (No. 42) and Haiti (No. 88). After that, they beat the Netherlands (No. 9) and Canada (No. 30). Sure, the bottom teams are arguably worse, but Morocco has faced two top 10 teams in the world. That prepares you to take on France.
I see Morocco coming into this match hyper focused on defense. They allowed a goal five minutes into the 2022 semifinal, which wrecked any game plan they had put together. This time, they are better, more prepared, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the necessary result. Give me Morocco to earn a draw after 90 minutes.
Prediction: 1-1 Draw (+650)
