Morocco vs. France — Quarter Final Match Preview
Morocco and France meet at Boston Stadium in Foxborough with a place in the Semifinal on the line in the Quarterfinal. France arrive unbeaten, having won all three group matches for a 3-0-0 record before eliminating Sweden and Paraguay in the knockout rounds, while Morocco advanced from Group C at 2-1-0 and then came through the Netherlands and Canada to reach the last eight. The gap in production has been wide over five matches, with France scoring 14 goals and conceding just 2 for a plus-12 goal difference and 3 clean sheets, while Morocco have managed a plus-6 mark on 10 goals scored and 4 allowed. Kylian Mbappé has carried the French attack with 7 goals in 5 matches, and Ousmane Dembélé has chipped in with 4 more, giving Didier Deschamps two in-form forwards to lead the line.
Morocco counter with the goals of Ismael Saibari, whose 3 strikes lead the team, and the vision of Brahim Díaz, whose 4 assists are a team high. This is a rematch of the 2022 World Cup semifinal, which France won 2-0 on the way to the final, and Morocco will be desperate to reach the last four for a second straight tournament. France, two-time World Cup winners and the 2022 runners-up, stand between Walid Regragui’s side and another deep run.

Players to Watch: Morocco vs. France
Morocco
Ismael Saibari — Midfielder. Saibari has been Morocco’s most consistent goal threat, leading the team with 3 goals in 5 matches on the run to the Quarterfinal. His late runs from midfield give Walid Regragui’s side a scoring option beyond its front line.
Soufiane Rahimi — Forward. Operating as the focal point of the attack, Rahimi has added 2 goals across 5 matches. His work leading the line and holding up play has let Morocco’s midfielders push forward into scoring positions.
Brahim Díaz — Midfielder. The creative hub of this Morocco side, Díaz has set up a team-high 4 goals in 5 matches. His passing between the lines is where most of Morocco’s best chances have started, and France will have to track him closely.
France
Kylian Mbappé — Forward. Mbappé has been sensational in front of goal, scoring 7 goals in 5 matches, more than any other player in this Quarterfinal. As the captain and focal point of the French attack, he is the player Morocco’s back line will build its entire plan around.
Michael Olise — Midfielder. Olise has been France’s chief supplier, with a team-high 5 assists in 5 matches. His delivery from wide areas and set pieces has fed a forward line that has scored 14 goals through five rounds.
Ousmane Dembélé — Forward. Dembélé gives Deschamps a second lethal scorer, with 4 goals in 5 matches to complement Mbappé. His pace and directness stretch defenses, opening the space that has made France so hard to contain.
