France vs Morocco prediction by ESPN expert Duncan Mitchell

Throughout the tournament's 92-year history, Morocco is the African team with the best record when it comes to the 2022 World Cup semi-finals. In the fourth round, coach Regragui's army will face the brightest French candidate in the tournament. 2nd semi-final match.

Theoretically, Morocco's chance to continue is very low when they are inferior to the opponent in all aspects from class and squad depth. However, looking at the actual performances of Hakimi and his teammates from the group stage so far, anything is possible and it is France who has to be careful.

Famed writer Duncan Mitchell commented: "Although it is underrated than France, the opportunity for Morocco to make history when it first appeared in the World Cup final is entirely possible. Remember, with the mentality of a survival knockout match, all predictions are for reference only.

In fact, in the last two direct matches, Morocco has made many analysts "offside". With a scientific counter-attacking style, the team under Morocco once made two European giants, Spain and Portugal, hate in the 1/8 round and quarterfinals.

Notably, Morocco has a solid defense when only conceding 1 goal (own goal) after the past 5 matches. In it, they kept a clean sheet and used to neutralize the formidable attack of Belgium, Spain or Portugal. If we cannot find a way to neutralize the opponent's defensive play, France can completely go into the footsteps of the two representatives of the same region."
