The odds are not terribly tasty, but an Under is the best option on the board. Five Morocco matches have produced all of six points. A goose egg is possible for the underdogs, especially with striker Walid Cheddira (yellow cards) out. France can strike anytime with the tournament's best one-two punch in Kylian Mbappe and Olivier Giroud. The Moroccan D can keep both in check, though at least one is sure to score. Even if both do, Morocco might never find the inside of the net.
I like this at -160 more than France -195 on the money line, as the French might have to work overtime to get past this fierce bunch. Les Bleus had some trouble creating chances against an England team that is far less disciplined in the back. Kylian Mbappe was mostly a non-factor in the quarterfinal but should produce at least one bit of magic. If France make mistakes like they did against the Three Lions, the Moroccans can cash in, but they just don’t create enough chances. Key Morocco defenders Roman Saiss, Nayef Aguerd and Noussair Mazraoui and forward Hakim Zayech are all hobbled. Some (if not all) will surely try to play, and that could be their downfall. France get through, but I’m not sure it will be in regulation.
