The defending champions France one of the top contenders for the FIFA World Cup 2022 title, has fared well as per the expectations, to reach the Semi-Final. In their journey to the Semi-Final, they have won against teams like Poland, and more importantly, they beat England 2-1 in the Quarter Finals.

Frances stars Mbappe and Giroud are in excellent nick and they have to show their prowess in the Semi-Final to enable their team to through to the Finals. France is expecting to start with the same starting XI that won the match against England.

Morocco contrary to the predictions has created history by storming to the Semi-Finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022. Morocco made history by beating Portugal 1-0 in their Quarter-Final, the first African Nation to reach the last four of a FIFA World Cup.

Out of their five matches, in four matches Morocco has managed to keep a clean sheet in this FIFA World Cup 2022. There was an own goal made by Nayef Aguerd in the match against Canada.

In their Round of 16 match against Spain, Morocco won by Penalty Shoot which is their first penalty shoot-out win in the FIFA World Cups. However, France has won two times out of their four penalty shootouts at the FIFA World Cup.

Match Prediction: Based on their recent match form, and match history in this FIFA World Cup 2022, FIFA World Rankings France has a high chance of progressing to the final match.

But Morocco the giant killer of this FIFA World Cup 2022, has made impossible things possible, and they are very dangerous on their day.

In order to move to the final, France have to be clinical in their play and the match is to be filled with super excitement and mouthwatering for football lovers.
