France take on Morocco in the first quarter-final of the 2026 World Cup in Boston tonight, with kick-off at 9pm BST. The match pits the 2022 beaten finalists against the African champions, who have not lost in 10 straight games.
France's Form and Fearsome Attack
Les Bleus have won five consecutive matches and boast a formidable front four of Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise, and Bradley Barcola. Despite being tipped as tournament favourites, a narrow win over Paraguay—decided by a Mbappe penalty—has raised concerns ahead of facing Morocco.
Morocco's Confidence
Morocco, ranked seventh in the FIFA world rankings, are unbeaten since losing the Africa Cup of Nations final, which they were later awarded. They have nothing to lose and plenty of reasons to be positive, according to team sources.
