✅ Stats before the game. France have never lost against Morocco in their five previous matches, all friendlies (W3, D2): the last one, in November 2007, in Saint-Denis, ended 2-2. France have alternated between winning and losing in their six World Cup matches against African nations, losing 1-0 to Tunisia in the final round of this season’s group stage. No team has ever lost against two different African teams in the same World Cup so far. Morocco could become the first African nation to reach the World Cup final; moreover, the one against France will be the first ever semi-final played by an African team at a World Cup. France play their seventh World Cup semi-final; after being eliminated in the first three (1958, 1982, 1986), the transalpines have won all of their last three games in this stage (1998, 2006, 2018). No opposing player has yet found the goal against Morocco in this World Cup, and the only goal conceded came from an own goal against Canada. The Lions of the Atlas have collected four ‘clean sheets’ in this tournament: the last two teams to have kept five clean sheets in a single edition, went on to win the World Cup (Spain in 2010 and Italy in 2006).
🏆👉 Lineup FRANCE (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Koundé, Varane, Konaté, T. Hernandez; Fofana, Tchouaméni; Griezmann, Dembélé, Mbappè; Giroud.
🏆👉 Here are France vs Morocco official starting lineups – formations for the FIFA World Cup Semifinal on Wednesday 14 December 2022 at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar at 22:00 (local time).
