FRANCE
Les Bleus did what champions do against England: win. It was a bumpy ride, but the French managed to clinch a 2-1 victory, snubbing England from an opportunity to win its much-needed silverware. After a wondrous Tchouameni strike came an Olivier Giroud header to secure the goods—all without the daunting 30 minutes of extra time that most nations have faced at this stage of the tournament.
Olivier Giroud to score anytime is priced at 11/8 (2.37).
Morocco has proved time and again that it will not yield if not to a superb team. Can France be the that superb team that manages to break down the North African side and progress to the final? France’s crusade to defend their 2018 World Cup title continues, and Deschamps will not be looking to take any prisoners.
France to win 2-0 is priced at 5 (6.00), whereas both teams to score in the second half is valued at 7/2 (4.50).
MOROCCO
Calling Morocco’s victory over Portugal “outstanding” wouldn’t come close to the heroics each and every Moroccan player performed to see their side through to the quarter-finals. Yassine Bounou continued his stellar string of performances in this World Cup to keep a clean sheet against Portugal’s uninterrupted attacks.
Morocco to win 1-0 is priced at 15 (14.00).
The tests keep getting tougher for Morocco, as they face the reigning world champions in a quarter-final fixture that stunned punters and pundits alike. Cheddira’s suspension will certainly not be enough to dampen the Moroccans’ hopes of pulling off another miracle against France. Can the North African team go all the way to the final?
Both teams to score is valued at 27/20 (2.35), with Sofyan Amrabat to score anytime priced at 16 (17.00).
