All eyes will be on Gillette Stadium when France and Morocco square off in a highly anticipated World Cup last-16 clash. As Morocco head into the match with a weakened squad, our prediction leans toward a 2-0 home win. Les Bleus needed a Kylian Mbappe penalty to edge Paraguay 1-0 in the previous round, but they once again showed why they are among the favourites to lift the trophy. Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is pushing for a place in the starting XI, while Didier Deschamps has a fully fit squad available. France have won nine of their last ten matches in all competitions, averaging 2.6 goals scored per game while posting an impressive 2.13 expected goals at the 2026 World Cup, underlining the quality of their attacking play.
Morocco, meanwhile, booked their place in the knockout stages with a routine 3-0 victory over Canada. However, the serious injury to Ismael Saibari is a major blow, with Soufiane Rahimi expected to replace him in attack. The Atlas Lions have been in excellent form themselves, remaining unbeaten in their last ten matches while conceding just 0.7 goals per game. Nevertheless, France defeated Morocco 2-0 at the 2022 World Cup and appear to have the quality needed to overcome the African side once again.
Les Bleus have won nine of their last ten matches and given Saibari's injury blow for Morocco, Home Win should be considered, alongside Mbappe to Score and Under 3.5 goals (Morocco are defensively well organised, and knockout matches between top teams are often closely contested).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Thursday 9 July 2026 at 21:00.
